Love knows no bounds in 'Orpheus & Eurydice'

Ballet National de Marseille will perform the Greek legend "Orpheus & Eurydice" in Shanghai this Friday and Saturday as part of the Shanghai International Arts Festival.

As Orpheus mourns the death of his wife Eurydice, Amor, sent by Jupiter, suggests he search for her in the Underworld on the condition that he pacifies the Furies with his singing, does not look at his beloved and does not explain his actions to her.

The production is directed and choreographed by Frédéric Flamand, who has been the general manger of the company and Marseille National School of Dance since 2004.

The set, images and costumes were designed by visual artist Hans Op de Beeck.

The renowned ballet company was founded by Roland Petit in 1972.
