Iphigenies Rache

Locked up in her nursery, Iphigenia awaits her execution and tells her story: It all began with great-great-grandfather Tantalus and a family curse. Two generations later, her father Agamemnon sparked the Trojan War by stealing Helen and angered the goddess Artemis by killing a sacred hind. As punishment, she sends a calm wind: only the sacrifice of Iphigenia can appease her.

In her isolation, Iphigenia begins to question her fate - and the system that created it. Can a father who loses himself in military duty still love? Is there a way out of the narrative that only recognizes women as victims, saints or witches? Who is Iphigenia beyond patriarchal myths and foreign attributions?

Actress and author Lilly-Marie Vogler pulls back the curtain on the ancient myth and opens a new, feminist chapter in the 2,400-year history of its reception.
