Dikē, the Greek goddess of justice accompanies the fictitious Clitenmestra /Aeschylos, Elizabeth Smith /a convict woman and Gertrude /Shakespeare. Are their actions crime or justice?
The performance evokes Dikē, the Greek goddess of justice, the spirit of moral order who accompanies three separate women being judged for their crimes - the fictitious Clitenmestra /Aeschylos, Elizabeth Smith /a convict woman and Gertrude /Shakespeare. The aesthetic of the performance stems from the relationship between the performer’s body and mythology, time and memory. Jolanta Juszkiewicz brings up a question whether a woman’s crime against man is a crime or justice.Photo-Belen de Benito from desdeMONA at Mujeres que Cuentan Festival Oruna Spain
