Sophocles’ version of “Electra”, directed by Dimitris Tarlou, comes to the Sainopouleio Amphitheatre after its performances at Epidaurus.
In a world plagued by authoritarianism and social injustice, Sophocles’ Electra gains chilling relevance. This tragedy is not merely a tale of revenge; it is a mirror of human dilemmas and the timeless conflict between justice and morality.
In “Electra”, the poet offers no answers: the gods are absent, the oracles merely coincide with human decisions, conscience falls into the background, and the Furies do not appear. Yet, the price paid by those who survive is heavy. It is the price of choice and the human need for catharsis at any cost that Sophocles’ “Electra” invites us to reflect upon.
