Électre

A symbol of the search for absolute truth, enemy of compromise, Électre, like Antigone, goes all the way in her quest for justice, even if it means losing everything, destroying everything. In that, she is eternal.

Giraudoux wrote here a masterpiece of tenderness and cruelty, casting a sharp and incisive look at characters, tragic for some, but also sometimes earthy or poetic for others, drawn from archetypes of ancient tragedy, yet still so close to us; it is the work of a great writer and a poet of the life of men and women. A subtle and savory blend of tragedy and comedy.
