Orphee

MCC Theatre and Film Arts Presents: 

Orphee by Jean Cocteau 

MCC Theatre - April 30-May 8, 2027

Step through the looking glass into Jean Cocteau’s mesmerizing, avant-garde reimagining of classic mythology in Orphée. Set in a haunting, surreal landscape where mirrors serve as portals to the underworld and Death glides among mortals disguised in chic elegance, this bold masterwork follows the celebrated poet Orphée on a perilous journey to reclaim his lost love, Eurydice. Pulsing with hypnotic theatrical magic, eerie poetry, and sharp avant-garde style, Cocteau turns the classic myth on its head to explore the intoxicating cost of artistic obsession, fate, and human passion. Elegant, uncanny, and brilliantly original, Orphée is a dreamlike theatrical experience that will leave you questioning where reality ends and the supernatural begins.
