The complexities of love and vulnerability take center stage in the nuanced performances of Jasmin and Kayko in their reimagining of the timeless myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. With Eurydice’s tough exterior juxtaposed against her sweet, melodic vulnerability, and Orpheus’s charmingly awkward persona, the dynamic between them raises an intriguing question: how much of ourselves do we reveal to those we love, often spurred by the courage of the right person? Join me as we explore this tender yet powerful narrative, enhanced by the unique perspectives of two artists traversing the tricky terrain of their roles. The magic of this story just might resonate with the energy of today’s astrological alignments, reminding us how essential it is to stay true to ourselves and let love paint our journey. So, sit back and let’s uncover the magic behind these mesmerizing performances! LEARN MORE.
Jasmin: Can we say what we think each other is bringing? Should we do that?
BuzzFeed: Go for it!
Kayko: It’s so interesting because Eurydice has this very tough exterior, but your voice, your vocal quality, and your timbre are so sweet. You have this independent attitude, like, “Nobody mess with me. I know what the world is and how it’s treated me.” But with Orpheus’s love, your Eurydice really opens up.
There’s a sweetness and vulnerability that you’re able to display, which is so hard. That’s what hurt Eurydice in the past, and it’s what hurts her again in the show.
Jasmin: That’s so nice! I’m really proud watching Kayko grow as an actor. Kayko is a singer first, and hasn’t acted before — and that can be scary.
It might feel like a disadvantage, but in this role, I think it’s actually really serving you. As actors, we sometimes freak out about the process. You’re showing up as you, and you’re choosing to be present in the moment.
That is so true of who Orpheus is. There are so many incredible takes on Orpheus and actors that have done wonderful things — but by showing up as you, you’re bringing this vulnerability, and a sense of humor that is really beautiful.
It makes the love story all the more meaningful. Eurydice gets to fall for this “accidentally charming” guy, and I don’t think anyone but you could do that.
