Elektra to go (Hofmannsthal in 7 Minuten)

A Klingon proverb says: "Revenge is a dish best served cold." In the case of Agamemnon's murder, his daughter Electra must wait years for retribution against her mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. But where even the hottest curry eventually cools, Electra perseveres, doing nothing but keeping the thought of the crime alive and accusing the murderers every day. No wonder she suffers similar psychological deformities as her murderous mother in the long run, but in the end—well, see for yourself. Michael Sommer and his Playmobil ensemble present a compact and entertaining short version of the modern classic ELEKTRA by Hugo von Hofmannsthal.
