“
It's clear that Electra is a troubled person, whether in Sophocles' rendering of this character, or in Twigg's contemporary take. Twigg brings forth the chaos and torment of this young woman in a new way, shedding light on mixed race kinship relationships, the danger of valuing one parent (or their culture) too much, and mental health/spirituality taken to the extreme. It's jarring and powerful to see taboos on these topics brought to light. ”
