Greek troops on their way to Troy are stranded at Aulis. A prophecy arrives: if they want to go further, King Agamemnon must sacrifice his own daughter. Private life and the interests of the state come into conflict. Of course, we know there must be a Trojan war. We also know that for a woman. Yet Iphigeneia says the reverse, that "one man is worthier to live than ten thousand women." Who is right? Where are the great heroes of Greek mythology? Euripides challenges the truisms and questions the unquestionable.Performed by the University of Theatre and Film (Ódry Stage)
