Elektra

A family bound by murder, grief and the demand for vengeance takes center stage in FIU Theatre’s production of Sophocles’ ancient Greek tragedy. Elektra runs September 25 through October 4 at the Herbert & Nicole Wertheim Performing Arts Center, with Michael Yawney directing.

The play follows Elektra as she mourns the killing of her father, Agamemnon, and seeks justice against those responsible, including her mother. Her fixation on revenge draws the family deeper into a cycle of violence as the drama examines loyalty, grief, love and the consequences of inherited conflict.

The FIU Theatre production features scenic design by Andres Velazquez, lighting by Lily Jefferson, costumes by Gianna Wu Ruiz and sound design by Tony Galaska, with an ensemble cast of FIU performers.
