iph.then

This remaking of the myth of Iphigenia in Tauris uses the Iphigenia story as a thematic tool with which to examine a modern world colored by corruption. The work includes several versions of the Iphigenia tale as well as several contemporary sources, in monologues, dialogues, opera, choral interludes, dances, fragments, video, and interruptions. iph.then celebrates and interrogates the ways we, as artists and audience, continually revisit stories to find their meanings, their resonances, and their continued relevance.
