A parodical retelling of Aeschylus’ Oresteia that involves music and dance. A company of unemployed actors tries (unsuccessfully) to present some parts of the tragedy (they particularly focus on Agamemnon’s return and his slaying by Clytemnestra) but they lack the technique and they eventually come face to face with current Greek circumstances which they satirise.
