Iphigenia at Aulis: Ecocritical Sacrifices

In this episode, hosts Abigail Olshin and Ashley Wright take us deeper into the terrain of Lady Jane Lumley's Iphigenia at Aulis through a close look at the historical contexts of human sacrifice in Greek drama and the application of an ecocritical lens. Olshin and Wright ask us to consider the function of including performances of sacrificial moments in contemporary productions of these classical plays and think through the ways modern performance concepts are complicated by these plot events.A note on content: This episode includes discussions of human sacrifice, death, and child death.
