I was amazed when I heard Elektra cry in Albanian.
A storm swirling around the stage. A quality impressive show outside the schematic clichés, intertwined with modern elements, accompanied by the rhythmic ringing of wood and stones, as close to nature as the sounds of antiquity.

The protection of right to the point of exhaustion and sacrifice is a battle that knows no time.
It seems that the difference between antiquity and modern days almost does not exist. It may be different today in the appearance of its forms, but it is just as “bloody” and monstrous in its variety.
Electra, one of the greatest tragedies of antiquity, is an opportunity to bring us closer, an aesthetic or moral reference, or both.

The clarity of the artistic development of the subject, the events, the grandeur of the Sophocles’ word, its detonation and impulses, the discovery of the amazing feelings of devotion, hatred and pain or energy released by the tragedy comprises the and ignite the imagination.
