Cherry Orchard Festival presents Gesher Theater: DON’T LOOK BACK Directed by Rimas Tuminas Music by Faustas Latenas In this freestyle, sensual, ironic adaptation of the ancient Greek myth, Orpheus is a street musician collecting alms with his hapless father at the train station. Eurydice is an actress waiting for a train on her way to another performance. Love bursts out between them, inevitable as death and pitiless as life. Can’t there be love without suffering? Is suffering necessary for creativity? And is it worth looking back? One of the last works directed by the great Rimas Tuminas, created especially for Gesher Theater, “Don’t Look Back” is performed in Russian.
