With one woman playing all the characters, from gods Athena and Poseidon to the prophet Cassandra doomed to never be believed, this retelling of the Euripides classic is sparked by a mother losing a child in a flash of modern-day warfare.
The performance by Albanian actor Drita Kabashi opens with Irina, a mother from an unnamed war-torn land, who becomes compelled to embody every war-stricken Trojan woman the moment she realises her child is gone.
