最终是哪个角色击垮了你？ 《厄勒克特拉》里，有个被悲痛与愤怒吞没的女儿，在周围世界分崩离析之时，仍执着坚守对正义的信念。 《假面》讲述的是，在《厄勒克特拉》演出期间，一名女演员突然沉默。接着矛盾爆发，两位女性陷入一段紧张又不安的邂逅，言语失去作用，自我和角色间的界限也随之模糊。 这部由凯特·布兰切特（《海鸥》）、尼娜·霍斯（《樱桃园》）和艾拉·莉莉·海兰（《黑鸽》）主演，本尼迪克特·安德鲁斯（《欲望号街车》）执导的作品震撼人心，它把古老神话和现代心理学结合，深度探讨了身份认同，以及“我们是谁”与“我们扮演谁”之间那脆弱的分界线。

Balibar, well-known as an actress and singer, left none of her talents unused in her directing debut. In this eclectic homage to Greek tragedy, Balibar and Léon are free of any convention. With a cameo by Barbet Schroeder. Jeanne Balibar and Pierre Léon roam in tourist outfits through Paris and prepare a play with a producer who keeps changing her clothes. In a parallel world, another layer if you wish, actors rehearse their texts for a Greek tragedy on the beach at Deauville and at prominent Parisian locations. It is the story of Electra, probably a rather inefficient character, one who perseveres and refuses to give up the battle against injustice. This absurd, slightly surrealist and occasionally humorous film looks like a theatre performance with its solemn dialogues and mise-en-scène issues. The makers, the actress Balibar and filmmaker Léon, however also use the medium by inserting screenshots of business e-mails - reflections on their plans. In addition, Balibar is a singer and she sings the texts as if the e-mails were edifying lieder. Electra, for Instance is, as one of the characters puts it, a true ‘culture souq’.

It's hard to imagine confirmed Straussians not wanting this starry Metropolitan Opera performance of Elektra. Strauss and his librettist, Hugo von Hofmannstahl, transformed Sophocles' take on Homer's tale into a harrowing opera noir. Elektra lives for one reason, to kill her mother, Klytämnestra, and her stepfather, Aegisth, the murderers of her father, Agamemnon. In contrast to Elektra's vengeful obsession, her sister Chrysothemis desires to get on with life. When their long-missing brother, Orestes, returns to do the deed, Elektra celebrates with a dance of death and, her sole purpose in life fulfilled, dies. Strauss joined the hermetic plot to music of the utmost opulence, violent and yearning by turns, evoking the cardinal principles of Greek tragedy - pity and terror.
