19:30. Theatre HD Live in Cinema. Director: Ivo van Hove. Starring: Suliane Brahim, Christophe Montenez, Benjamin Lavernhe. 177 min. In French with Russian subtitles. The Belgian director Ivo van Hove has combined the two plays - Euripides’ “Electra” and “Orestes” - into one uninterrupted staging. Euripides’ “Orestes” picks up five days after the conclusion of “Electra,” but it’s as if no time has passed. After Electra and Orestes conspire to kill their mother, Clytemnestra, and her lover in the first play, the siblings face justice and spiral into further violence in the second. None of the elements that make up Mr. van Hove’s production are especially original on their own. A quartet of percussionists is in the background throughout and creates an ominous soundscape for the action, in a manner reminiscent of classical Japanese theater. The action is interspersed with ritualistic dance scenes led by Electra and the Chorus, who beat their chests and fall repeatedly into the mud. While the choreography was created by Wim Vandekeybus, it is indebted to the raw, primal spasms that drove Ms. Bausch’s dancers to exhaustion.
