Princess Elektra is locked inside the royal palace with her mother Klytaimnestra, who sees her as dangerous, and her anger knows no limits. Trapped in a long chain of blood revenge, the cycle of vengeance so familiar from Greek mythology, the story goes back to the Trojan War.
The tragedy traces how her father Agamemnon, on his way to Troy, sacrificed his daughter Ifigenia to win favourable winds, and how his homecoming years later did not bring the forgiveness he hoped for.
The cast features Amalie D. Abildgaard, Anna Bruus Christensen, Camilla Gjelstrup and Adam Schmidt. The production is directed by Anastasia Holst Nørlund and translated by Mathilde Moestrup. Amalie D. Abildgaard also appears in other performances of Elektra at Aalborg Teater in November.
