AN ORESTEIA

2009

By Anne Carson after Sophocles
Co-director Gisela Cardenas

Poet Anne Carson's ambitious modern take on the House of Atreus mixes and matches Greek playwrights and directors to tell the tale of Agamemnon. Upon returning from Troy, Agamemnon pays with his life the cycle of revenge and death that began when he sacrificed her daughter to the Gods to get the necessary wind for the Greek fleet to get to Troy.
