Orestea

Only surviving example of a complete trilogy of ancient Greek plays, Aeschylus’ Oresteia tells a three-chapter tale that is deeply rooted into the mythical tradition of ancient Greece: the assassination of Agamemnon, perpetrated by his wife Clytemnestra, the vengeance of their child Orestes who kills his own mother, the persecution of the matricide by the Furies and the final absolution he gets by the Areopagus tribunal.
With this two-part production – Agamemnon and The Libation Barers/Eumenides, Luca De Fusco takes on classic tragedy following the key characteristics of Greek Theatre, that combined words, singing, dance. Oresteia is a play “in music”: the score is signed by Ran Bagno. The sensual and mysterious choreographies of Noa Wertheim, director of the Vertigo Dance Company, unwind on the enthralling and meticulous musical ground of the Israeli composer.
