WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A contemporary dance-theatre adaptation of Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris. Iph is 34 and stuck in a dead-end job. Haunted by the past, her present situation is grim -- she's at the mercy of a temperamental goddess and a barbarian king with a fondness for human sacrifice. And she's beginning to lose all hope of rescue. A post-modern tragi-comedy about what to do when your Dad tries to kill you, your Mom freaks out, your brother goes crazy and you're surrounded by Barbarians.
