Oresteia

Last week i went to city college with my friend to watch a performance done by that school. "The Oresteia" was a play about the death of Agamemnon after his return from his victory of the Trojan War.
This play changed my view on how a play can be scened. The first half of the play was staged during the Vietnam war, with all war heroes dressed in military uniforms of the era.
The second half was a modern re-enactment of the play which included cell phones, guns and cars. There was even a pimp with his dancers.
Watching this play was really enlightening and i had a lot of fun. It was an experience that i would like t0 experience again some day.
