Agamemnon by Aeschylus

Athens Epidaurus Festival
Athens, Greece

Ulrich Rasche presented a groundbreaking interpretation of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, marking the world premiere of this international co-production. Known for his striking visual language and rhythmic staging, Rasche transformed the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus into a pulsating stage of mechanical movement and live music. As Clytemnestra’s fateful revenge unfolded, performers delivered intensely physical, almost ritualistic performances, blending text, motion, and sound into a gripping theatrical experience that redefined the boundaries of classical tragedy.
