SUMMARY
Luis Alfaro transforms Sophocles' Elektra into a passionate, powerful tale of the revenge cycle in gang culture. Electricidad mourns the murder of her father, an East L.A. gang king-pin, and vows revenge. In her determination, she pulls her brother, Orestes - a young man who managed to leave "the life" - back to commit the most tragic of crimes. At once violent and vibrant, Electricidad taps into the beauty, color and ruthlessness of this abandoned desert barrio.

The cast features Derek Gaspar (Nino), Erica Ikeda (La Carmen), Shannon Matesky (Ifigenia), Pascuala (Gabi) Mayorga (Electricidad), Felicia (Fefe) Oates (La Cuca), Michael Olavson (Orestes), Kelsey Peterson (La Connie), Lauren Pizzi (Abuela), and Simone Olsen-Varela (Clemencia).
