What justifies bloodshed?

In the summer of 2009, cARTel produced a radical deconstruction of Aeschylus's Agamemnon on Santa Monica Beach, just south of the Santa Monica pier, at sunset.

The show was reduced to less than 30 pages, and combined intense movement, music, vocal exploration, and performance art to bring new life to Aeschylus's Agamemnon, an influential, devastating, and relevant piece.
