FIND ME IN THE UNDERWORLD
MA Company

"This is a lyrical dance based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. We follow Orpheus as he bravely follows his wife Eurydice to the underworld to rescue her.

It's an ode to both the ultimate strength and total vulnerability that love bestows to all." - Kit Middleton, Choreographer

PARKING LOT
