orpheus from Hadestown

new obsession actually

extra:

[eerna]

wait for me, I'm coming

[doublevampires]

thinking about hadestown as a story in which each character realizes both that they're in a time loop + that there is an audience observing them at different points throughout the show

[doublevampires]

there's this moment in if its true where it seems like orpheus is pleading with the audience to change how the story goes. eurydice knows this has happened before by come home with me reprise ("i can sing us home again" "no, you can't" "yes, i can" "no, you don't understand") but orpheus doesn't know until doubt comes in ("who am i to think that she would follow me into the cold and dark again?"). the gods are both observed and observing (hades and persephone and hermes all stand off to the side for most of the show when they aren't the main people in a scene); for hades and persephone, this happens year after year anyways without any kind of time loop narrative, but hermes is fully aware from the beginning of the narrative structure of the story, obviously.

[doublevampires]

persephone knows all along that she's being observed, but the amount she cares varies between actors (amber gray's persephone does not care that there's an audience; jewelle blackman's persephone is desperate for this story to be witnessed). hades never knows.

[doublevampires]

The fates are an interesting case in this. They know how it goes. And are actively forcing everyone else to stick to the plot, because that’s their job. When the other characters stray from the loop, the fates nudge em back on

Wow, according to Noah Mullins, the Australian Orpheus, the journey to Hadestown is 3 years on foot, so it was 6 years total going there and going back.

His Orpheus could probably win a marathon. XD

[luckys-last-brain-cell]

Feeling a lot of feelings about how Hadestown doesn't present the story as "Orpheus turned around and everything fell apart and there was nothing anyone could do to fix it" and instead presents a story that says "he turned around, he doubted, he failed, but if we keep telling his story maybe one day Orpheus won't" and it's not just about Orpheus as a single character, it's a bout every Orpheus, everyone who runs up against a system they can't change and fails and everyone who sees that failure and gets back up and says "maybe I can change it now" and tries again. That Orpheus failed isn't the takeaway of the story. The takeaway is that one day he might succeed.

It's an old tale

musical theatre challenge: 2/4 onstage pairs| orpheus & eurydice (hadestown) 

Say that you’ll hold me forever Say that the wind won’t change on us Say that we’ll stay with each other And it will always be like this

[asiamarianelli]

Heavy and hard is the heart of the king king of iron, king of steel the heart of the king loves everything like the hammer loves the nail

but the heart of a man is a simple one small and soft, flesh and blood and all that it loves is a woman a woman is all that it loves

and Hades is king of the scythe and the sword he covers the world in the color of rust he scrapes the sky and scars the earth and he comes down heavy and hard on us

but even that hardest of hearts unhardened suddenly, when he saw her there Persephone in her mother’s garden sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair

the smell of the flowers she held in her hand and the pollen that fell from her fingertips

and suddenly Hades was only a man with a taste of nectar upon his lips
