\n\tAeschylus\u2019 Agamemnon (458 BCE), THOC\u2019s first ever staged production in 1971, is revived this summer as part of the celebrations marking the Organisation\u2019s 50th anniversary. The tragedy, directed by Lea Maleni, is the first drama of the Oresteia, Aeschylus\u2019 only extant trilogy. Deeply political at its core, Agamemnon limns the traces inscribed upon the fate of man by a regime where violence begets violence.<\/p>\n
\tThe stage is set in front of the palace of the Atrides, in Argos, where King Agamemnon returns after the end of the Trojan War, with Cassandra, King Priam\u2019s daughter, as a trophy by his side. Clytemnestra will initially welcome him as befits a king, while playing hostess to the foreign woman. Behind this fa\u00e7ade lurks a well-devised plan of revenge that culminates when Clytemnestra murders Agamemnon, abetted by her lover, Aegisthus.<\/p>\n
\tThe Aeschylian trilogy opens with an abominable act to raise the first poignant, well-timed questions of justice and democracy. Lea Maleni probes into the essence of the play with an accomplished team of actors and associates by her side, as she sets out to touch upon an enduring desideratum in a world of powers and counterpowers that has never given up the strive for equilibrium.
