An urgent re-framing of the classic Greek tragedy. A young prince has murdered his mother in a bloody act of revenge. The curse of the Royal House of Argos is raging, the cycle of revenge continues... A raucous mob of rebels have been rejected and discarded by the new regime. They unify and go into hiding underground - with Prince Orestes as their hostage. Now their time has come to take action - to take justice into their hands - to be heard. You decide. You become the jury and determine Orestes' fate.
Orestes: Re-Examined forms the final part of Aeschylus' classic tragic Oresteian trilogy. This radical re-framing fuses ritual movement, live original music and poetic text with a thumping drum and bass underscore, against a dark, haunting and desperate backdrop.
