Orestes and the Fly (A Tragicomedy, with Tap Dancing; 8:08 min.)
"The Fly" meets one of the world's most famous dysfunctional families, the House of Atreus.
Orestes and the Fly is a comic revision of Jean-Paul Sartre's play The Flies--itself a retelling of the Greek tragedy The Oresteia by Aeschylus. This Fly is an Avenging Fury who really wants to be a tap dancer like Fred Astaire.
The Making of Orestes and the Fly (9:37 min.)
A "behind the scenes" look at making a comic movie about a Fly (think Vincent Price, 1958) inserted into Greek tragedy (think Aeschylus, 458 B.C.E.). Watch actors flub up, abuse furniture, tap dance not quite like Fred Astaire, and discover The Deeper Meaning.
