The Living Earth Show and Post:ballet: Lyra

Babatunji Johnson, dancer
The Living Earth Show: Lyra

The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is reimagined in this provocative, hauntingly beautiful collaborative production from the experimental San Francisco-based guitar/percussion duo The Living Earth Show and contemporary dance company Post:ballet.

Blending music by Samuel Adams, choreography by Vanessa Thiessen, film directed by Post:ballet Artistic Director Robin Dekkers, and cinematography by Benjamin Tarquin, Lyra explores themes of empathy, technology, and our relationship to the natural world in a stunning new realization of a timeless ancient story.
