Electra Oedipus at Colonus

The voices of confrontation

"Through readings, reflections and moments of discussion, Fondazione Oltre tries to bring to light the modern-day value of this masterpiece, showing how the power of words and theater can still help us to understand ourselves and the world around us."

Roberto Andò

An audience attentively listens during an event. A diverse group of people are seated, focused on what is being presented.

"Unlike the other versions, the tragic core of Sophocles' Electra is not matricide. It is a tragedy with no future, a desolate world immersed in an atmosphere of death from the very beginning, where everything passes through the gaze and passions of the immeasurable character, Electra."

Giorgio Ieranò
