Elliot’s in-progress opera, ORPHEUS/OVID, explores dreams of reunion with lost loved ones through the Orpheus myth. In collaboration with Marly Gonzalez (cello) and Emma-rose Bauman (flute), Elliot (voice) presents two of her compositions in addition to an improvisation on the project’s themes.
While ORPHEUS/OVID is inspired by a classical text, the work is rooted in original material, interdisciplinary practices, experimental techniques, and new perspectives. Elliot’s creation process dives into the obscurities of the text in order to reemerge with something unique and personal. In ORPHEUS/OVID, she aims to translate her interpretation of the epic poem into an aural experience, offer a new perspective on loss through an ancient story, and defamiliarize archetypes by bringing the poetry’s subtext to the surface.
