Guarda su CINEBLOG01. Becoming Iphigenia is a feature-length documentary that traces the fortunes of a group of young Syrian women in Germany who hail from different walks of life and different communities in Syria. Brought together on stage at the Volksbühne in Berlin for roles in a modern adaptation of Euripides’ Iphigenia (written by playwright Mohammad al-Attar and directed by Omar Abusaada), as they rehearse the production they realize that the pain and threat of death they fled remains with them. Can they free themselves from the past, family, society, and ultimately themselves?
