A few words about the show:
The subversive Electra of Euripides present in the summer of 2022 the Tagari Theatrical Enterprises translated by Strati Paschalis and directed by Giorgos Lyras on tour throughout Greece, with Maria Kitsou and Dimitris Gotsopoulos in the roles of Electra and Orestis respectively. In the role of Teacher George Constantinou.
Euripides’ Electra is an innovative and controversial work, born of an era where all certainties have become uncertainties. The poet does not hesitate to present on stage his own version of the myth, with his heroes in a world of realistic everyday life raising pressing issues on the concepts of revenge, justice, moral conflict, passion. A noir version of the myth, a tragedy of revenge but at the same time a deeply, shockingly human work.
When Electra appears in 413 BC. Athens is shaken by the long waro · in a few months will come the painful and humiliating defeat in the Sicilian Campaign. Euripides’ Electra, the forerunner of the great texts of Elizabethan theater and the beginning of psychological theater, is at a precarious point of convergence: where gods and men must reconsider their world in an age of doubt and demystification.
Electra lives on the margins of the city and life, in a humiliating marriage imposed on her. Orestes, proclaimed by the Palace, comes to avenge the death of his father and the sufferings of himself and his sister, led by the oracle of Apollo. The two brothers are implementing their plan to restore order and do what they believe is justice. The dark anticipation of revenge and the debt that leads to matricide will give birth to horror and not redemption. For the first time in Euripides, murder is investigated in relation to its psychological consequences. The confrontation with the paradox of existence, the stormy emotions, the anatomy of the psyche of the heroes and the key and timeless dilemmas make Electra a uniquely subversive and modern work.
