According to Greek myth, Idomeneus, king of Crete, was sailing home after 10 years at war in Troy when he found himself in a terrible storm. To save himself, he promised to sacrifice the first living being he encountered on land. Seventy nine boats sunk and he was the only survivor. However, the first human he met when he got to dry land was his own son.
Acclaimed director Manuela Infante, one of the most important voices in Chilean theater, brings this version by German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig to the stage, in a production that is somewhere in between a theatrical short story and an electronic music concert. According to Nietzche, the origin of tragedy is found in music, so Infante puts actress Paulina García and musician Diego Noguera on the stage in a ‘spoken concert’ that invokes tragedy, sacrifice, war and power. In a reflection on the ancestral rites of human sacrifice, horror, blame and remorse join the fear of dying and the frenzy of killing.
