Orestria

Picture taken by Daniel Etter.

I admit, I have come late to the day for Orestria, it's already way past transfer and a hundred or two reviews and meditations. I have even already seen the sorely disappointing Bakkhai, the second 'Greek' in the Almeida's seasonal trilogy. I've well and truly missed the cultural zeitgeist. So my reflections will be personal, with the hope that some universality will be contained within.

Bakkhai, Almeida.

Hair

The hair did the talking. Sometimes I liked what it said and sometimes I didn't.

Chimerica, Almeida, London.

How much do you really know about China? You may have looked at the labels on the clothes in your cupboard and found the majority of them are made there. You may have looked at a map and realised China is much larger than you thought it was, in fact, wow, isn't bigger than America?
