Iphigeneia is about King Agamemnon who was brought his full war fleet to free the beautiful Helen from the Trojans. Eventually it turns out that chances are she has left voluntarily. But that is irrelevant for Agamemnon and his army – they want her back yet the same. In Aulis the fleet is suddenly stuck because wind stops and Agamemnon is led to believe that the only thing he can do to get wind in his sails is to sacrifice his only daughter Iphigeneia to the gods of wind.
Filled with anguish Agamemnon sends a letter to his wife Clytemnestra asking her to come to Aulis with Iphigeneia, claiming that the half-god Achilles is willing to marry her. This is obviously a lie, and when Clytemnestra meets Achilles she discovers that he knows nothing about the wedding plans.
Finn Iunker, who received the Norwegian Ibsen Award in 2006, has for 15 years been a favourite in independent performing arts in Norway and abroad.

Ole Jakob Hoel, dato ukjent, Adresseavisen [Trondheim]:
"Classical tragedy growing into the near territory of the confusion comedy. Up and down naked, industrial stairs. And it works!"
Inger Merete Hobbelstad, dato ukjent, Dagbladet [Oslo]:
"Iphigeneia is a sharp production about powerful men who pretend not to be."
Amund Grimstad, dato ukjent, Klassekampen [Oslo]:
"Finn Iunker shows us what happens when small persons make big decisions."
