'Electra Untitled'
Vertebra Theatre

  • Project Details
    Seeking crew for "Electra Untitled," a physical and visual theatre adaptation of the myth of Electra as seen in the Greek tragedy "Electra" by Sophocles. Dance, puppetry, and visual storytelling reconstruct her story, which she owns and rewrites through the lens of female empowerment. Electra becomes a modern antihero; tangled in violence that runs for generations of patriarchal suppression. The performers transform the stage to retell the ancient myth and address Electra’s tragedy to its core through the female gaze. Electra Untitled adds a modern twist to an old narrative and brings forward the role of women who provoke change in times of hostility and dissolution. The performance was part of the Resolution Festival at the Place, London 2022. The project is supported by The Arts Council England and aims to raise awareness of domestic violence. This is also a grassroots initiative and part of a series of research works by Mayra Stergiou at Guildhall School of Music and Drama exploring staging trauma through embodied materiality.

    Production states: "We include a series of intergenerational workshops that aim to unearth the stories that communities of women and LGBTQIA+ hold around domestic violence, to open spaces for sharing and reshaping new narratives through the creative mediums of physical theatre and puppetry. The rehearsal process and the workshops use the framework of the world-renowned director Theodoros Terzopoulos’ Method under the mentoring of Savvas Stroumpos of Zero Point Theatre in Athens, Greece."
