Rescue Me

Synopsis:
In this dance-theatre adaptation of Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris, Iph is 34 and stuck in a dead-end job. Haunted by her past, her present situation is grim-she's at the mercy of a temperamental goddess and a barbarian king with a fondness for human sacrifice. and she's beginning to lose all hope of rescue. Rescue Me is a tragicomedy about what to do when your Dad tries to kill you, your Mom freaks out, your brother goes crazy and you're surrounded by Barbarians.
