Electra Untitled

Electra Untitled is a feminist/queer adaptation of the greek tragedy of Sophocles; Electra. Dance, puppetry and visual storytelling reconstruct Electra’s 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 ancient myth and address Electra’s archetype to its core researching a feminist re-looking of the character and the tragedy as a whole. 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.
