ORESTEIA
Inspired by AESCHYLUS
Conceived & Directed by JONATHAN VANDENBERG
In association with ASHES COMPANY
Aeschylus authored the oldest extant drama. The Oresteia, the only surviving trilogy of Ancient Greek tragedy, is an inexorable exploration of human nature. It exists at a threshold between old and new worlds. In this production of few words, Aeschylus' trilogy becomes the catalyst for a future tragic form. A distinctive theatrical language of gesture, image, and sound emerges.
