'With Aeschylus, it’s a happy ending. There’s peace. Orestes is pardoned. But Euripides takes the same plot and writes it in a completely contrary way. Orestes is not pardoned. He and Electra are condemned to death by stoning. They run amok, storm the palace and burn the whole city down. It reminds me a lot of the storming of the U.S. Capitol. We have the dream of Aeschylus and the nightmare of Euripides. It’s like pieces of a puzzle that don’t fit together, and that interests me.'
