KEPLER’S GARDENS

Young Creatives u14 Prize

Taking Greek mythology as their model, the two sisters and their cousin have reinterpreted the love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. When Eurydice flees from the Peeping Tom Aristaios, she is not killed by a snake bite, but by electrocution – and just when she is distracted by her cell phone, because she posts her new love status on Instagram. In keeping with the times, the ancient music star Orpheus becomes the female protagonist Orphea. She tries to save her love Eurydice from the underworld with beguiling music.
