THE ORPHIC CIRCLES and other gossip- last show

Step into a world where ancient gods whisper in your ear, myths come alive in the present, and every movement tells a story that words cannot capture.
The Orphic Circles and other gossip, the latest masterpiece from the Iceland Dance Company, is a spellbinding performance that transforms timeless myths into a multisensory experience.

From the enchanting song of Orpheus — who bewitched all living things — to the dark underworld of Demeter and Persephone, the work dives deep into the eternal cycle of growth and decay, love and loss, creation and transformation.

Through a bold fusion of dance, visual art, language, and sign language, myth becomes flesh, speech becomes movement, and music becomes a visual experience you can almost see.

The performance reaches its climax when a brass band of 100 children and teenagers floods the stage, propelling the story forward with unexpected force.

Who holds the Golden Fleece?
Where do all the snakes come from?
Does Eurydice wish to return to her former life?
And why, after all, do we dance in circles?
