The Trojan War has raged for ten years, leaving society in ruins.
When King Agamemnon returns home, he is murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus. Together, they begin a tyrannical rule.
Years pass, and their daughter Electra is still consumed by grief. With a thirst for vengeance, her brother Orestes returns from exile, and together, they plot their revenge.
Electra confronts us with uncomfortable questions:
Who do we love more - our mother or our father? Would we kill a parent for justice?
This performance lasts approximately 1 hours 20 minutes with no interval.
