Internationally award winning modern re-telling of an ancient myth

Dave is single. He's stood at the bar.
Eurydice is a tree nymph.
And Bruce Springsteen is on the juke box.

A tale of impossible, death defying love told through hair raising spoken word and soaring acoustic soul music. Wright&Grainger weave a world of dive bars, side streets and ancient gods.

Since it's creation in 2016, ORPHEUS has played over 500 shows nationally and internationally between festivals, cafes, gardens, railways arches, bars, tents, churches, yoga studios, boats, record shops, breweries, loft apartments and the very occasional theatre.

It's won multiple awards including:
Best Theatre (Adelaide Fringe) 2018
Best Theatre (Fringeworld) 2019
Best Music(Sydney Fringe) 2019
Beyond Words (Dunedin Fringe) 2019
Critics Choice (Adelaide Fringe) 2023

Words by Alexander Wright
Music by Phil Clive Grainger

H2O is proud to bring Wright and Grainger to Denmark for the first time. Orpheus is an exciting piece of spoken word mastery. The combination of Wright's rap reading of the text combined with Grainger's sultry vocal tones brings the story to life in ways unimaginable. Spoke Word is a specifically unique genre in London that isn't seen here in Denmark.
