Aris Retsos

The Throne of Atreus

Aris Retsos, an outstanding figure in the Greek theatre, an actor and director who has dedicated twenty five years of his life to researching ancient drama, essays a journey of memory into the tragic myth of the Atreides, from the sacrifice of Iphigenia and the fall of Troy to Orestes’ flight from the Furies and his entreaties to Apollo and Athena. Playing a ritualistic role, the Chorus greets, follows, leads and accompanies the tragic heroes in their encounters with Fate.
