In order to fulfil the oracle's prediction Iphigenie must kill any stranger landing on the shores of Tauride. Alas, it is Oreste, Iphigénie' ' s own brother, who appears, having murdered their mother Clytemnestra in order to avenge the death of their father Agamemnon: such is the accursed lineage of the Atrides, condemned for generations to inflict death after death... Will this chain of hereditary bloodletting be perpetuated by Iphigenie? In Krzysztof Warlikowski's stunning first production for the Paris Opera, the characters in the twilight of their existenz are still haunted by their past.
