Opium is Suddenly Dance Theatre’s dance drama inspired by a three-month episode in the life of French artist Jean Cocteau. To the music of Eclipse Quartet, the dancers imagine Cocteau’s harrowing stay at a clinic near Paris in 1929 where he tried to conquer his addiction to opium. In Miles Lowry’s original script, we encounter a Poet desperate to create, his rebellious Shadow, an armless Statue, waltzing Nurses, and a seductive Sphinx.
