“Cassandra is a Prophetess and mistress of King Agamemnon. She warns the people that the King is being murdered, but is not believed. In this solo, Cassandra sees visions of evil and shrieks a warning that the King is being murdered.”
the female dancer (Blakeley White-McGuire) is playing the part of Cassandra, a prophetess who sees visions of evil. she warns the people that the king is being murdered.
the male dancer (Kerville Jack) plays the part of the Messenger of Death, which is not a specific character from Greek Drama but was created by Martha Graham to create an atmosphere of foreboding and inevitability. this abstract figure can represent many things: Fate, Fear, Guilt, Inevitability, Karma, etc. in this solo, the Messenger of Death sets the tone for Grahams telling of the Agamemnon saga in Clytemnestra.
a symbolic metaphor was established between the characters and our planet’s many warnings of the serious and eventual irreversible consequences of climate change.
