We won the war! And now what?

How shall we persist in the living of our lives?

Following the success of Europeana (2018) and the esteemed "Ibsen Scholarship" at the Ibsen Awards, Rafika Chawishe makes her US debut at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club with a thought-provoking reimagining of Aeschylus' "Agamemnon."

"Agamemnon: The Circle of Blood" presents a powerful monologue enhanced by cinematic and media technology, blending classical storytelling with documentary realism. This adaptation delves into power struggles, warfare, and societal injustices, exploring the complexities of the West-Middle East relationship and the urgent call to break free from cycles of violence and war.

Witness the raw power of Clytemnestra as she navigates loss, betrayal, and the relentless cycle of bloodshed. Can we break free from the compulsion to repeat history's mistakes? How is it possible to stop the never-ending circle of blood? This production bridges ancient tragedy with contemporary issues and politics, prompting reflection on the West's relationship with the Middle East, the impact of colonialism, and the quest for peace in a world torn by conflict.
