Our modern reimagining of Orfeo ed Euridice explores the current opioid epidemic and the cyclical nature of addiction recovery, while advocating for access to resources. Orfeo and Euridice became sober together but Euridice has relapsed and run away to live on the streets. Orfeo journeys through homeless encampments to bring Euridice back to rehabilitation while maintaining his own sobriety.
