The space is an ethereal courtyard which can become the different settings of the play: a military encampment, the side of a mountain, a palace courtyard, the island of Tauris. The stair from the second level flows down like stone on a mountainside to a floor of dirt where Electra lives in her earthy garden. The translucent walls of fabric provide shadow screens and plays of light and depth for the characters and chorus to inhabit.
