This dissection of the classic Iphigenia at Aulis takes place in a technofeudal, post-apocalyptic ice age. There, amidst the unfamiliar rubble of her life, a nameless girl searches for her identity and freedom from her father’s war machine. After the traditions of Magda Romanska and Heiner Müller, The Iphigeniamachine dismantles the original mythology to expose a perilous underbelly of atrocity, complacency, and glorified masculinity.
