What is this project all about?

The English Theatre Leipzig turns to Greek mythology in its newest production and presents Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice from the year 2003, a retelling of the myth of Orpheus in the underworld.

Eurydice and Orpheus celebrate their wedding, when Eurydice dies and finds herself in the underwold. Because she was dipped into the river of forgetfulness, Lethe, she has lost all her memories. She meets her father - a character newly created by Sarah Ruhl - who managed toMehr anzeigen

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Our goal is to build a mystical and impressive set. Part of this is the river of forgetfulness. We plan to build a structure that'll allow us to have running water and thus a representation of the river on stage, in the shape of a well.

So we call upon all theatre lovers, patrons of the arts, Anglophiles, and supporters of English Theatre Leipzig and Neues Schauspiel Leipzig to help us create something truly special!

Why would you support this project?

It is our mission to bring quality English-language theatre to Leipzig and Leipzig into the theatre, so our shows are produced and put on entirely by volunteers ranging from professionals to first-timers.

By supporting us, you're enabling us to continue on this path, help realize the production of what we are sure will be an amazing show, and by extension also support our home theatre, Neues Schauspiel Leipzig, which has been a reliable partner of ETL sinceMehr anzeigen

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

The collected donations will go toward the production of Eurydice, first and foremost the construction of the well, as well as other scene elements, to put together an impressive and mystical set. A small portion will also be allocated for production and shipping of the perks.

The secondary goal would enable us to cover costume costs, as well as part of the printing costs for posters and programmes.
