I love Anaïs Mitchell, fifteen years from now and she’ll still be writing new lyrics for Hadestown (x)

Working on a Song by Anaïs Mitchell - an alternative introduction to Epic I.

Myth

Ovid is the only acceptable version of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. End of story (I’m serious though most others are ‘love is stupid he deserved it because love is dumb’). I’m posting it here instead of my main blog because… I get the vibe Anaïs read this version. Something about how lyrical it is, how we get the full song he signs to hades and Persephone and how fucking soul crushing it is? She must have read this one.

ALSO

There is a separate myth “the death of Orpheus” which, is absolutely. My heart cannot take it.

He’s the first to say they found each other in the end 😭

thinking about how anaïs mitchell and rachel chavkin's collaboration on hadestown is so close and loving and tender

and about how reeve and chavkin have both said so much that the big orpheus rewrite ultimately made him more expressive of anaïs

and about how chavkin resonates most deeply and personally with eurydice

something something we are drawn to and can't help telling stories with our own spirits in them

the snake eats its tail and the tale begins again
