| Summary: |
An innovative dance/film/music interpretation of the classic Greek drama of the daughter of Oedipus who defied the state to bury her brother. The film examines the conflict between moral and political law. "...visually stunning New Music Film Opera which challenges the conventions of narrative cinema to create a genre of its own. The 2500 year old drama ... is transformed through stark, ceaseless movement, haunting sounds and music (including themes from Glenn Branca, David Van Tieghem, Elliott Sharp and Diamanda Galas) and words of outcry against our own world's injustice"--Container. |
