Orpheus

2020, 20 minutes

The greek myth of Orpheus told using models, miniatures and marionettes

The story of Orpheus takes the Greek myth and focuses on the sense of loss and guilt. Only in this story rather than being a musician Orpheus is an artist, an artist trapped in his studio with a fading memory of his lost love – but nightly he is pestered and bullied by The Critic, a living embodiment of his own troubled mind. On this particular night Orpheus, exhausted from guilt is forced to confront his guilt and fight for his sanity. The Critic taunts and bullies Orpheus, reminding him that he is the author of his own plight. Can Orpheus ever face his own truth or will he remain trapped with The Critic forever?
