Based on the Oresteia by AeschylusIn this reworking of Aeschylus Oresteia, Klytemnestra and Elektra face one another in a dramatic confrontation. Attempts to come to terms with their violent past echo testimonies delivered in Apartheids wake throughout South Africa during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Aeschylus chorus is replaced by Xhosa tribeswomen, who bring grace and humanity through their ancient art of split tone singing. Molora (the Sesotho word for ash) is an examination of vengeance, and the breaking of its cycles by the everyman.
