Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus

But that, of course, is precisely how ideology works at its most effective, by claiming that kind of universality.

So the pivotal moment for me was in 1998, I think it was 1998 or seven, but when I watched the production of Sophocles' Electra at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, and it was a production that treated the classical text, uh, very freely.

It deconstructed it, kind of parodied the characters, played with the form, and yet it retained a, a strong connection to it.

And I remember thinking that a transformed text like this is all ready to make a statement about our relationship with the past, and this is a political question.
