A mamá, Segunda parte de una Orestíada vernácula

Synopsis

From the classic by Aeschylus we have only kept the names of the characters and the tensions of their relationships. The action is set in a suburban neighborhood in the province of Buenos Aires. It was particularly strange to hear that the members of this family are called by the names of the Greek tragedy: Electra, Aegisthus, Clytemnestra, Chrysothemis and Orestes. A singular event gives rise to a tragic downward spiral: everything happens on New Year’s Eve. The resource allows to recreate the inexhaustible theme of dysfunctional families endlessly.
