Choephoroi (Libation Bearers)

The Barnard-Columbia Ancient Drama Group presents Aeschylus' Choephoroi (Libation Bearers) in the original ancient Greek (with English supertitles), April 3-5 in the Minor Latham Playhouse on the Barnard Campus. This play, the second of Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy, portrays Orestes' return to Argos to avenge his father Agamemnon's murder, along with his sister Electra, by killing their mother Clytemnestra. The production includes a chorus of 11 who will be singing and dancing to a live, original score by Melody Loveless. Made possible by the Matthew Alan Kramer Fund. Sponsored in part by the Arts Initiative at Columbia University. This funding is made possible through a generous gift from The Gatsby Charitable Foundation.
