APGRD Notes
Performed as part of the regular Thursday demonstrations against the new government in Vienna. This is a play against Jörg Haider and the Austrian self-styled Freedom Party, a feminist parody of his nationalist language and ideology. It is based on Oresteia, especially Choephoroi and Eumenides, and presents Haider as an exiled Orestes arguing for the forthcoming triumph of patriarchy and the fatherland.
