City Garage turns Euripides’s Greek tragedy inside out in an iconoclastic new version, both serious and comic, that takes the familiar plot and characters of the fall of Troy and recasts them in a fluid, dreamlike landscape. Traveling from L.A. to Darfur, and from past to present, this production uses City Garage's inimitable style to tackle issues of violence, mass media, the obsession with youth and celebrity, and the hypnosis of pop culture.
