Orphea - Lovesong From Hell [LP] Vinyl Record

Complicated times require complex experimental setups: The Filipino musician, poet and filmmaker KHAVN meets Alexander Kluge, the German philosophical jack-of-all-trades of cultural work. Together, they conceive a music film with the acclaimed German actress and singer Lilith Stangenberg at it's centre. Their film "Orphea" - which celebrated it's world premiere at the last Berlinale - deals with the ancient myth of the musician Orpheus, who wants to free his beloved Eurydice from the underworld. Although Orpheus even succeeds in bewitching a hell hound and the ruler of the underworld himself with the power of his music, he fails in the end. Eurydice's gaze back to him is finally punished by the gods with death.
