| Description |
In his Singapore debut, Suzuki Tadashi breaths primordial power and poetry into the monumental Greek play, Electra. The tragic heroine Electra mourns for her father who is killed by her mother Clytemnestra and her lover. Unable to convince her brother Orestes to exact revenge on the adulterous pair, she takes matters into her own hands. Suzuki directs a cast of Korean and Japanese actors from his famed Suzuki Company of Toga in this compelling domestic drama set in a mental asylum as a metaphor for the chaos in contemporary life. |
