Elektra is a tragedy from Greek mythology about a king's daughter locked inside the royal palace by her mother, Klytaimnestra, who regards her as dangerous. Trapped in a long chain of blood revenge, Elektra is drawn into a cycle that begins with the Trojan War.
The story turns on her father Agamemnon, who sacrificed his daughter Ifigenia on the way to Troy so that the winds would carry his fleet. When he finally returned home years later, his wife had never forgiven him.
The cast is Amalie D. Abildgaard, Anna Bruus Christensen, Camilla Gjelstrup and Adam Schmidt. Amalie D. Abildgaard is also performing in this production on other dates in November at the same theatre.
