Join us at the Stahr Performing Arts Center for ninety minutes of high voltage comedy and searing drama in Luis Alfaro’s Electricidad, a powerful, modern day adaptation of Sophocles’ Electra.  The show is directed by Nelly Torres and runs March 11-21, 2010.

Luis Alfaro’s Electricidad is an adaptation of Sophocles’ Electra that is set in the East Los Angeles barrio and infused with an electrifying Spanglish that transforms Sophocles’ 2,500 year-old text into a seriocomedic story for the modern age.   Electricidad, Ifigenia and Orestes struggle to come to terms with the death of their father, Agamemnon, at the hands of their mother, Clemencia.  Driven by all consuming passions of love and loyalty, hate and vengeance, Electricidad keeps a 24 hour vigil by her father’s side and dominates this contemporary look at the power and consequences of revenge, and the damage it causes to a family and a community.

Nelly Torres, local Millersville graduate, makes her directorial debut with this timeless story of love, hate and revenge.  “I wanted to direct Electricidad here in my hometown to give the Latino community a rare opportunity to see our own cultural background represented on area stages.   It is a way for me to inspire other minority artists and to provide a forum for our community at large to celebrate our heritage and the arts!”  She believes that although Electricidad is set in an urban, Latin setting, it is a universal story that supersedes its location with relevant themes that impact the lives of people everywhere.
