Agamemnon
$25 general; $20 students/seniors
Directed by Zishan Uğurlu, Agamemnon is the first play of the trilogy Oresteia written by Aeschylus. The play is a meditation on female revenge, sexual bleeding, male pomposity, self-consuming truth, and a sense of justice.
The narrative of provocation and premonition are incorporated into the production by the objective: “to trap the living fact alive.” This time the red carpet doesn’t take you to the Oscars, but to death.
Performed in Greek with English super titles, Agamemnon is a co production of Eclipses Group Theater and Actors Without Borders.
