ABOUT ORFEUS
Nmon Ford’s ORFEUS blends house music, opera, and XR-driven theater into a timeless version of Ovid’s legend.
THE STORY
Orfeus must confront his true nature to save the poet Euridice from his adoptive father, Pluto: a vengeful dictator whose realm he escaped.
the immersive world
ORFEUS is experienced as a living world, where opposing factions, power, and stakes are established before the performance begins.
Live World-Building
House music dance battles and MMA-style exhibition bouts introduce conflict and stakes before the audience enters the opera.
Spatial Performance
Image mapping, spatial audio, and architecture extend the narrative environment while keeping live vocal performance central.
Optional Audience Alignment
Lightweight interaction allows audiences to align with factions or outcomes. Participation is optional and never disruptive.
