Myths can reveal to us how our psyches, history and DNA express themselves in the creation of our stories. The further you deconstruct myth, the more a hidden wisdom is accessed to discover what’s beyond story, realms and even human beings.

The ancient myth of Orpheus has such potential. It has taken over the imaginations of artists and writers for centuries. And yet, there are secrets still embedded that we desperately need to access at this turning point in history to ensure our planet survives.

“Ohr” is the hypnotic love story of Myra and Sal, two actors who play the lead roles in an avant garde adaptation of Orpheus.

When Sal overdoses just days before opening night, Myra is able to talk to him when no-one else can. As she tries to convince him to return to his role as Orpheus, Kinu, the controlling director replaces him last minute with a non-actor who ironically injects new life into the play.

Myra plays the role of Eurydice in the play, a woman who is banished to the underworld forever and waits there for her lover to rescue her and bring her back to life. But as the play unfolds, and life imitates art, Myra begins to suspect her life is in a supernatural parallel with the play. But how?

Myra stalls progress by corralling her ensemble of willing actors to investigate the deeper ideas of the play, unleashing a mutiny in the theater that sees Kinu storm out and cancel the show. Myra then discovers that the mysterious theater owner Memphis is plotting her demise and the show's collapse.

Soon Myra awakens to the reality that she too has overdosed just like Sal and is literally wandering in the underworld with him. This leaves her with only one chance to come back to life.

Myra and Sal begin to deconstruct the first moment they met, the supernatural element they shared, that, once re-discovered, might give her the power she needs to take control of the play and rewrite it’s ending.

But who will be brought back from the dead? And who is Orpheus? And who will be able to escape the story and find freedom in the end?
