Bloodpaths and Orpheus | Stage Whispers 18/11/2025

So rewarding to see a great review of Bloodpaths and Orpheus' screening !
"...Orpheus narrows the focus from many voices to one myth refracted several ways. Here, visual artist Eljo Agenbach’s contribution comes sharply into view. The projections feel painterly, with a palette and gestural touch reminiscent of J. M. W. Turner. Swirls that recall clouds, water, mist and smoke move across the screen, suggestive enough that one might glimpse the River Styx, but abstract enough that any literal reading remains uncertain. This careful refusal to illustrate the narrative too directly keeps the work open and active."

"...Under Raineri’s direction, the festival is positioning itself as a site for genuine artistic experiment, collaboration and risk. In a sector that often asks artists to simplify in order to survive, it is heartening to witness a project that trusts its audience to listen deeply, think expansively and sit with complexity."

As always I'm so so thankful to Alex Raineri for his visionary programming and championing of my visual art ❤️
