The king and his army return home after ten years at war. The queen has been waiting all this time for a chance to kill him. Why? He killed their daughter. Weaving together textiles, dance, physical theater, and live-generated soundscapes, the Virginia Twins tell the ancient Greek story of Agamemnon’s murder. How does it feel to wait, to get revenge, to start over, to come home?
VIRGINIA TWINS is a collaborative performance company that emphasizes play and experimentation. We use our skills in modern dance, acrobatics, devising, choreography, and improvisation to create rich and dynamic experiences for our audiences and workshop participants. We always create with the intent to experiment, to queer the question: what if we did things differently? Is that really how the story goes? More information can be found on our website.
