Orpheus, Eurydice, a trouble-making horse and Death herself converge in a very funny and irreverent reimagining of the Greek myth by surrealist poet, playwright and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. With a blend of American Sign Language and spoken English, Deaf West breathes new life into this classic myth, creating an exciting, whimsical and highly visual theatrical event.

Deena Selenow directs.
