MoLoRa (trailer)

Culture Project's Women Center Stage presented The Farber Foundry Production of MoLoRa, adapted from the Oresteia Trilogy by Yael Farber in July 2011 at The Ailey Citigroup Theater. Visit WomenCenterStage.org for more.


Set after the fall of apartheid, South African playwright and director Yael Farber's MoLoRa re-imagines the ancient Greek Oresteia to tell the story of her own country's painful and extraordinary transition to democracy. As Klytemnestra and Elektra—mother and daughter, perpetrator and victim—sit to face each other in an open hearing, MoLoRa reenacts a watershed moment in world history, illuminating the universal and excruciating choice for any victim: to seek revenge or choose forgiveness.

Visit MoLoRa.org for more information. Performances June 30 - July 24 at The Ailey Citigroup Theater in New York City
