The spare and elegant language of Irish author\u00a0Colm T\u00f3ib\u00edn’s novel\u00a0brings to life and actualises the epic characters of the House of Atreus, endowing each character with highly contemporary motivations, psychological traits and nuances. Here, we find a necessary process of humanisation and the irreversible consequence of a lost divine horizon. Hence, Clytemnestra remains the rancorous queen of the myth. She is also a woman grappling with her own complex and contemporary approach to handling her power, making her a more multifaceted, mature and fascinating character.\u00a0Roberto And\u00f2\u00a0has called on\u00a0Isabella Ragonese’s\u00a0talent for the leading role. The rest of the cast includes\u00a0Ivan Alovisio, Arianna Becheroni, Denis Fasolo, Katia Gargano, Federico Lima Roque, Cristina Parku\u00a0and\u00a0Anita Serafini.<\/p>\n
