Anagoor

Orestea
Agamennone, Schiavi, Conversio


Orestea<br>Agamennone, Schiavi, Conversio

The Italian company Anagoor has come to international attention thanks to its crystalline aesthetic able to combine the performing art and hypermedia scene while simultaneously constructing a literary, theatrical device, permeated by references to classical art and contemporaneity.

 

After having presented Virgilio Brucia at REf15, the company returns to the stage with the long-awaited production integrated with the chapters of the Oresteia – the Agamemnon, the Slaves and The Conversion. Vision, song and oration contribute to the construction of a performance that maintains the structure and the texts of Aeschylus’ tragedy, if only to find within its plot and interstices – as well as in the thought of its author – the roots of today’s western condition.

 

For Anagoor, Oresteia is, in fact, the story of a world in revolt, inviting us to question ourselves about the concept of ‘revolution’; a theatre able to provoke thought, to rewrite a new idea of justice and the sacred today.
