“Forget the Game of Thrones, no one understands violence like Euripides,” the critic wrote after the premiere of Ivo van Hove’s production of  Elektra/Orestes. Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award, the Tony Award and the Moliere Award, known at TheatreHD for the productions of All About Eve and Gedda Gubler, the director plunges into antiquity to emphasize the social nature of the theater and to extract from the ancient myth a keen sense of modernity.
