Elektra is a tragedy about a king's daughter locked inside the royal palace by her mother, Clytemnestra, who regards her as dangerous. Her anger knows no bounds, and she is trapped in a long chain of blood revenge, the kind of cycle Greek mythology is full of. It all began with the war against Troy.
The production follows the story of Elektra's father, the hero Agamemnon, who sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia on the way to Troy so that the winds would carry his fleet. Many years later, when he finally returned home to his wife, Elektra's mother, he had not been forgiven.
The cast includes Amalie D. Abildgaard, Anna Bruus Christensen, Camilla Gjelstrup and Adam Schmidt. The production is directed by Anastasia Holst Nørlund, with a translation by Mathilde Moestrup, sets by Fredrikke Dalum, lighting by Kasper Daugberg and sound by Kristian Berg.
