ELECTRICIDAD by Luis Alfaro

Directed by Asae Dean

The great Greek classic "Elektra" has been rewritten by noted Chicano playwright Luis Alfaro, losing none of its powerful and violent message. Set in a barrio in an urban Eastside Los Angeles, Sophocles' 2,500 year-old tale is transformed into a vibrant, vital and thoroughly unforgettable myth for the modern age. "Electricidad" is a contemporary look at the power and consequences of revenge, and the damage it causes to a family and a community. The urban setting translates both the timeless themes and dialogue into a modern-day fable of the consequences of violence.
