Gwenaël Morin's 'Le deuil sied à Électre' at Avignon Festival

At the 2026 Avignon Festival, director Gwenaël Morin presents 'Le deuil sied à Électre', an adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's trilogy that transposes the Atrides myth to post-Civil War America. The play explores inherited violence, guilt, and family trauma across generations. Additionally, Inbo Lee, artistic director of Liquid Sound, stages 'KIN: Yeonhee Project I' as part of the Korean selection, using sound and movement for new narrative forms. Maxime Grember reports from the Off festival on Nicolas Kerszenbaum's 'Cœur des ténèbres' at Théâtre du Train bleu, adapted from Joseph Conrad's novel.
