Alan Lake delves into the heart of the human experience with his latest work, a poignant foray into the myth of Orpheus that testifies to the redemptive power of art.

The myth of Orpheus has inspired artists since ancient times: sculptors, painters, poets, musicians and filmmakers. Choreographer Alan Lake follows in their footsteps with one of his signature symbolist tales. Subtly interweaving myth and modernity, this dance of light and shade explores the twists and turns of doubt, loss and, above all, life. In striking imagery that combines melody, movement, emotion and vulnerability, Lake constructs a supernatural atmosphere that oscillates between dream and reality. The work resonates as a powerful metaphor, reaffirming that the true essence of our humanity lies in facing the unknown.
