  3. Iphigenia 2.0


An exuberant and modern update of Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides, Iphigenia 2.0 is filled with pop culture references and music framing the tragic ways in which history continues to repeat itself especially in times of war. A great imperial power decides to go to battle, taking an action so wrong that it sets the empire on the road to complete self-destruction. Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek army, must prove to his uncertain troops that the dangerous battle they are about to undertake is righteous and worthy of their bloodshed. Public opinion polls, a lust for fame and a world where the line between entertainment and news is blurred find a leader troubled and tormented with the decision to make his daughter the ultimate sacrifice.
