Sometimes less is more.
For this heartbreaking scene in Hadestown, as Orpheus leads Eurydice out of the underworld, just two lights were used to create these moments.
By shifting between the two lights, we played with shadows, limited visibility and the feeling of following a single source of light through the darkness.
Until the moment Orpheus turns around, and the entire stage opens up.
A simple approach to one of the show’s most powerful moments.
