Back to the Future

Electra and Orestes, two young people living in the 2025 Greek countryside, share the stage with two characters of the same names from the well-known ancient Greek myth. Although they are millennia apart, the four of them become caught up in the same vortex of revenge and matricide. They cannot traverse time, yet their thoughts and actions intersect in a completely unexpected way. The thread of one story intertwines with that of the other, and both are driven to deviation. The drama’s key factor is space: the Gates of Hades. There, where the world of the living empties into the world of the dead, and the lines between life and death remain unclear and indistinct. In this place where the outlines of the living blur and merge with the shadows, what could lead someone to desperately wish for another person’s death to achieve redemption? And when the act is committed, does redemption truly come?
