In this performance, based on the text Elektra by German playwright Heiner Müller, the spectators are invited to a “work of art-dinner” consisting of: invitation, table setting, appetizer, entrée and dessert. The irrational and violent essence of Elektra is set to a refine dinner reflecting upon the human duality of “nature-instinct” vs. “refinement-culture”.
The musical composition contains electronic and real time manipulated sounds.
