Storyline
Electra: A daughter consumed by grief and rage, clinging to the idea of justice as her world comes apart. Persona: During a performance of Electra, an actress suddenly falls silent. What follows is a rupture: two women drawn into an intense, unsettling encounter where speech breaks down and the boundaries between self and role give way. Featuring Cate Blanchett, Nina Hoss, and Ella Lily Hyland, Benedict Andrews' thrilling production fuses ancient myth and modern psychology in a powerful exploration of identity, and the fragile line between who we are and who we play.
