Iphigenies Rache

In the organizer's words:
A solo performance by and with Lilly-Marie Vogler
A production of the Theater Regensburg
Staging & music: Nils Strunk
Set & Video: Christiane Hilmer
Locked up in her nursery, Iphigenia awaits her execution. It all begins with a curse that has been on her family since Tantalus. Later, her father Agamemnon triggers the Trojan War in revenge for the theft of Helen and angers the goddess Artemis by killing a sacred hind. The punishment: no wind. According to the seer Calchas, the war can only continue through the sacrifice of his daughter. In isolation, Iphigenia begins to doubt her role, her father and the system. Is there a way out of the millennia-old narrative that sees women only as victims, saints or witches?
Author and actress Lilly-Marie Vogler pulls back the ancient curtain and retells the story: radically, feminist, from Iphigenia's perspective. A confrontation with patriarchal narratives - and an attempt to rewrite history.
"She already wrote herself an Iphigenia monologue at drama school. As a member of the Regensburg theater ensemble, she developed it into the 90-minute solo "Iphigenie's Revenge", a play that combines comedy and songs, feminist reckoning and puberty in a teenage bedroom. At once relaxed and angry, Vogler brings the ancient material into the present with enormous energy. She is in the same league as Bodo Wartke ("King Oedipus", "Antigone") and should urgently go on tour with her Iphigenia." - FAZ, 6.03.2025
