The meeting of two monumental choreographies from the The Cullberg Ballet repertoire brings a new energy that allows the audience to see the inherent artistic qualities of each work.

Birgit Cullberg was inspired by the film The Battle of Algiers, organised by Gillo Pontecorvo and Greek mythology.
The music is by Ennio Morricone. The revival of Birgit Cullberg's Eurydice is Dead is in collaboration with Mats Ek and Ana Laguna.
