After
thousands of years of solitude and
silence... Elektra is
back on the scene with a contemporary
sound. Originated from the land of
amber, old traditions and never-ending
legends, Elektra would rather go
into hiding in absolute anonymity
than to obey the newly established
patriarchal society where she was
entirely subordinate to her father
and husband and had to give up her
rights as a woman.
Elektra is the daughter of (nowadays retired)
goddess Tethys and
her father is no one less than sea god Oceanus,
which makes Elektra a true Oceanide.
Elektra has always lived on the shores
of great seas and oceans, which explains
her love-hate relationship with the creative
and destructive characteristics of water
found throughout her work.
During
her long underground period Elektra
has studied music, literature,
dance and art. She had also a
great laugh while reading the
books by Euripides, Sophocles
and Aeschylus. Their books still
remain her favorite pastime when
the weather is against her.
Elektra is a complete woman and artist:
she is Virgin and Mother,
Creator and Destructor,
The Frivolous and The
Wise, Lover and Wife. These
qualities remain strong weapons which not
always work in her favor. Especially when
other representatives of the female sex
seem to have the urge to involve themselves
in Elektra’s personal
business...
But
despite that, Elektra keeps using
all those different assets of
her personality in her creative
process. Sometimes she may seem
a little girl in need, other
times - a cold blooded murderer.
That’s why Elektra should
never be called an angel or a
devil. It’s simply too
unilateral and narrow-minded.
Nowadays Elektra is busy ‘coming-out’.
She has not only performed at various theatres
across the country, but was even asked
to perform at museums.
The time has come to relieve the overloaded branches from it’s juicy ripened fruit. Elektra’s best-friend Artemis gives her wise advice from time to time and she has even suggested Elektra’s current manager. (Aside from all above mentioned Elektra is completely and absolutely fed up with her status of anonymity and her bank account being constantly overdrawn).
