Feeling under the weather, I was unable to enjoy the performance of Pascal Rioult's new IPHIGENIA at The Joyce; plans to attend a second evening came to naught. But I had asked Sinru Ku to photograph the dress rehearsal of this new work for me, and wanted to show her images on my blog.
Set to a score by Michael Torke, played live, the main roles in the ballet were cast as follows: Agamemnon - Brian Flynn; Iphigenia - Jane Sato; Clytemnestra - Marianna Tsartolia; Achilles - Jere Hunt.
