Iphigenia Crash Land Falls On The Neon Shell That Was Once Her Heart — Caridad Svich

This play by US Latina playwright Caridad Svich was finalist for the 2005 PEN Award in Drama. This new edition features an introduction by Amy Littlefield. A rave fable inspired by Euripides Iphigenia at Aulis, this play with music and video spins Iphigenia into dangerous orbit through an un-named Latin American country as she journeys through a meta-hell where she finds her body embraced and destroyed by a rock star named Achilles, and discovers she cannot escape a destiny set forth by myths ancient and modern.
