Electra Untitled

  • Old Fire Station 40 George Street Oxford, England, OX1 2AQ United Kingdom (map)

Tue 10th, 8pm
Old Fire Station Theatre | £10

Electra Untitled is a Physical Theatre adaptation of the Greek Tragedy by Sophocles. Dance, puppetry and visual storytelling reconstruct her story, which she owns and rewrites through the lens of female gaze. Electra becomes a modern antihero tangled in violence that runs for generations of patriarchal suppression. The performers transform the stage to retell the myth and address Electra’s tragedy to its core freed from means of attachment and biases of the past. Electra Untitled adds a modern twist to an old narrative and brings forward the role of women who provoke change in times of hostility and dissolution. The project is supported by the Arts Council of England and aims to raise awareness of domestic violence in the UK and internationally. 

★★★★ Even within the solemn and tragic sense of the play, being infected by laughter seemed inevitable.
