Designs for: Elektra by Sophocles
Translated by: Anne Carson
Published: 2001
Concept: A design based on the period and setting of the play: Mycenae, 420 BC. The cast is in the colors and silhouettes that would have been worn at the time. The Chrous is split into Keres, mischievous deities trying to lead the House of Atreus to further ruin, and to the spirits of those doomed by the curse (Cassandra and Iphagenia) with the aid of Eleos, the Greek goddess of mercy.
