Summary/Abstract: Kinga Boros writes about Orestes in Mosul, the performance directed by Milo Rau in 2019 and still performed in different locations in Europe, going into the details of the ars poetica of NTGent, that is the National Theatre in Gent and placing the performance in this context at the same time: into a conception about theatre that turns away radically from art-theatre and defines its own role within its social connections. This is Rau’s first performance based on a classical text, being of course a free interpretation of the drama. Created in the Iranian city of Mosul, after its liberation from ISIS, with local actors and musicians, the performance intertwines the classic tragedy with personal stories of the creators and with the circumstances of the creative process.
