Description Behold the tenth item of the Mutually Friendly Opera Project [MFOP], a parallel assignment game with Mr =Divadlo . This is Elektra from Richard Strauss' modernist opera, the daughter of Agamemnon and Klytaimnestra, sister of Orestes.

As already explained in detail under my previous Elektra image (see here: [link] - it is an outdoor variation of this one), in Freudian terms Elektra suffers from a serious penis envy. She wants to penetrate her mother but feels unable to, and calls for her killed father and her remote brother to do it for her. This obsession makes her almost lose her mind.

In the picture, she manifests her fantasies with two metallic [elektric!] vibrators in her hand: one for the father and one for the brother. Signs of insanity (so often referred to by other characters in the opera) are clearly visible on her face.

Model: Sz.

Make-up: ~Grenadine-rea

This is, hands down, the best idea ever.
It's cheeky as! And the colors are fantastic, as always.

Her eyes are quite frightening!

they would be most delighted.
there's a catalan artist group called La fura dels baus who did something like that with Jules Massenet's Don Quichotte, on the barcelona opera theater.
check some pictures of the many things they've done: [link]

hűűű mi az ott a kezében??

tényleg elég félelmetes lett, nincs is kedvem este a sötétben sétálni, tudva, hogy ilyen néni is közlekedik az utcákan (remélhetőleg fémizé nélkül!)

p.s. tényleg jobb lett a tiéd (újra!) egy balhoroggal

saturninus In reply to narcolepticgirl [2009-01-31 19:03:14 +0000 UTC]

ez a néni a valóságban nem ilyen...
ami pedig a kezében van... nos hát le van írva alá, hogy mi az.

köszi! egyébként most nem vagyok otthon, te meg valószínüleg már nem leszel, mire hazaérek... hogy fogsz így elrabolni...?

Divadlo [2009-01-28 18:50:52 +0000 UTC]

I love the interpretation given to this character and her Freudian conotations, the expresiion and body language is just great! I can actually feel her.
It's soo funny we both have red hair women for the role, both very expressive.
Look at the streght with wich she's holding her weapons!

saturninus In reply to Divadlo [2009-01-29 22:06:40 +0000 UTC]

hahaha in fact her hair is brown, it's probably the background's shimmer that makes it look reddish. but still: she is strongly grasping those deadly weapons for sure!
