Seoul Arts Center Presents 'Look Back Into Love - ORPHEO,' 9/17

Seoul Arts Center, in the Towol Theater, presents the Dance Musical, 'Look Back into Love - ORPHEO.'  The show runs September 17 - 28.

According to the Orpheus myth, Orpheus fell in love with a nymph named Eurydice and married her.

But Eurydice died of a snake bite.

So Orpheus descended into the Underworld to Hades to find her and bring her back to life. Orpheus played harp and Hades agreed to let Orpheus lead his wife out of the Underworld on one condition: Orpheus had to walk in front of Eurydice and not look back until they both reached the Upper world. They set off together on their journey, but in his anxiety, Orpheus turned to look at his wife as soon as he set foot in the Upper world, forgetting that they both needed to arrive safely.  Eurydice vanished a second time, this time forever.
