Two thousand five hundred years ago, a dramatic poet wrote a tragic trilogy that explores the urgent need to establish a civic agreement capable of ending the endless cycles of vengeance that plague human coexistence. This poet, known as Aeschylus, conceived not only a work of art but also a vehicle for proposing a radical shift in the concept of justice.
Through characters caught in cycles of resentment and violence, Aeschylus shows us how, in an unexpected turn toward a tragically hopeful ending, gods and mortals join forces to found an institution that promises to end vigilante justice—marking the birth of a new chapter in civilization.We present Orestíada with the ambition of building a bridge between the myths of Ancient Greece and our present day, breathing ancestral impulses and archetypes into the reality of our times.
