The Pit,

Part of bite08

Tickets: £15

subject to availability

In this reworking of the ancient Greek Oresteia Trilogy, Klytemnestra and Elektra, mother and daughter, face one another in a dramatic confrontation. Their attempts to come to terms with their violent past echo the testimonies delivered in the wake of apartheid all over South Africa as part of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

A chorus of Xhosa tribeswomen brings grace and humanity to the drama through the ancient art of split tone singing, adding a haunting intensity to this evocative production. Intimate and epic, with unforgettable performances.

Performance time: 19:45

Running time: 105 mins/no interval

Age guidance 14+
