Ancient Greek drama festival continues with Electra.25
July 12, 2022
A month full of extraordinary theatre productions is here as the International Festival of Ancient Greek Drama brings five performances to the island. Until August 6, theatre companies from abroad will present their contemporary and artistic approach to ancient Greek drama. Up next, is the Atalaya Theatre of Spain with two performances of Electra.25 on July Saturday and Monday.
The Spanish participation in the festival is based on the two homonymous tragedies by Sophocles and Euripides. Electra.25 reconstructs the everlasting circle of violence, that of death-revenge-death, in the House of Atreus and dramatises one of the darkest parts of the myth: vengeance against Clytemnestra and Aegisthus for the murder of Agamemnon.
