Antigone

In the organizer's words:

The story of Antigone begins when the war has just ended. The country has been destroyed and is searching for a new order. Antigone also wants to find closure. To do so, she must bury her brother. But Creon, the new ruler, has forbidden this. Antigone's brother was partly responsible for the bloody civil war and Creon wants to make an example of him beyond death - the unburied corpse as a cautionary tale. Antigone defies Creon's order and the conflict escalates. They face each other: The unwavering love of a sister on the one hand and the responsibility of bringing new order to an entire country on the other. However, Antigone's resistance to Creon is not just an act of love for her brother, but also a confrontation with the question of whether her own actions are truly free - or whether they are just another stage in an inevitable fate. Antigone stands between the legacy of the past and the possibility of shaping a future.

Sophocles wrote what is probably his most famous play based on the ancient myth of Antigone. Antigone has her place as a strong woman in world literature, but she is not without her faults: she is self-determined, but also stubborn, and she could drag the people closest to her - above all her sister Ismene, but also her fiancé Haimon - down with her.
