    The Greek fleet assembles in the bay of Aulis in readiness to launch an attack on Troy, but the wind suddenly drops and the ships stand idle. The army blames their leader who, in danger of losing his command, panics and jumps at a solution: he will sacrifice his own daughter to the gods, in return for a favorable wind. Euripides’ last play is one of the most caustically acute dramas ever written about the twisted psychology and murky self-serving motives of men about to embark on war. Just how far will a leader go in order to save face and secure a military victory? Dance Brigade, San Francisco’s groundbreaking, modern dance company founded in 1984 by Krissy Keefer and Nina Fichter, provides the work with powerful imagery, imbuing Iphigenia with a muscular energy that defines this iconoclastic, visionary company.
