Story of Echo

The Story of Echo is portrayed in this beautifully choreographed piece, in telling the Greek mythological tale of how Echo, a mountain nymph, offended the goddess Hera by keeping her in conversation, thus preventing her from spying on one of Zeus’ amours. To punish Echo, Hera deprived her of speech, except for the ability to repeat the last words of another. Echo’s hopeless love for Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image, made her fade away until all that was left of her was her voice. In collaboration with the dancers, this high intensity dance created the world of Greek gods and their quarrels, and showcased the group of dancers in a way that was heart felt and inviting to their story.
