Sophocles’ "Electra" directed by Dimitris Tarlou – Now at the Sainopouleio Amphitheater
Following its acclaimed performance at Epidaurus, Sophocles’ Electra returns, staged by director Dimitris Tarlou. In a world plagued by authoritarianism and social injustice, Electra resonates with chilling relevance. This tragedy goes beyond a simple tale of revenge; it serves as a mirror to human dilemmas and the timeless conflict between justice and morality.

In this rendition, the poet offers no answers — the gods are absent, oracles merely coincide with human decisions, conscience is secondary, and the Furies do not appear. Yet, the cost for the survivors is heavy.

This is the price of choice and the human need for catharsis at any cost — a call to reflection through Sophocles’ Electra.
