Ivo van Hove returned to the Comédie-Française for a new epic recounting an entire episode – the final one – in the story of the house of Atreus, in a production that marked the entry into the repertoire of Euripides’ Electra and Orestes. Stating that all his projects are born from “love at first sight” for a text, he combined the two plays to tell, in its continuity, the tale of this brother and sister who unite in taking revenge.
