About this show

Two teenage girls stand on the brink of adulthood, their futures just beginning to take shape. In parallel worlds, both are pulled into wars they didn’t choose, can’t control, and have no voice in. As their stories unfold side by side, ancient myth meets the present day, drawing on both Euripides' Iphigenia plays to expose how little has changed. Their lives begin to echo and collide, revealing the enduring cost of conflict across time. An intimate, unflinching portrait of youth interrupted, voices unheard and the devastating human consequences of war.
