"Orpheus: PUBLIC TALK" – a provocative performance blending elements of talk show, stand-up, and live music. We talk about love, LGBTQ themes, and pornography. During the show, we promote intimate products, moan with passion, and debate who thinks about sex the most—yet, the plot remains perfectly respectable.
In this modern twist on the ancient Greek myth, Orpheus finds himself as a guest on a contemporary talk show with live music and an AI sidekick. He’s a romantic, faithful to his lost love Eurydice, whom he’s determined to rescue from the underworld. Assisting him in his quest are the Host, Sophia the puppet chicken, and the audience.
Orpheus is a devoted lover, while the Host plays the cynical realist. Meanwhile, Sophia urges Orpheus to forget Eurydice and focus on himself. And when debates get heated, AI assistant "Olesia" is always there to offer her input.
