Synopsis

This poetic drama reinterprets the ancient Greek myth of the House of Atreus, a family cursed by generations of violence, betrayal, and revenge. Through a series of powerful monologues and dialogues, the play explores the psychological depths of figures like Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Orestes, and Electra, as they grapple with their fated destinies and the weight of their ancestors' sins. Ritsos brings a modern sensibility to these timeless tales of power, justice, and suffering.
