Electricidad

Silhouette of a woman with a sun behind her on a red background

By Luis Alfaro

Director: Guest Director

February 27 – March 8, 2026

In the years following the murder of her father by her mother, Electricidad is committed to vengeance. To get it, she’ll need her brother, Orestes, to return from Las Vegas and help her finish the job. Transporting Sophocles’ Electra to the Los Angeles barrios, Luis Alfaro investigates violence, loss, and redemption through the lens of this age-old tragedy.
