Bühne Cipolla - Antigone
In the organizer's words:
A newly crowned king issues an order. And his niece ignores him. Antigone buries her brother who has died in the war, although King Creon, her uncle, has forbidden this on pain of death. He sees the fallen man as a traitor to his country and justifies his mercilessness with reasons of state. Antigone, on the other hand, believes her actions are legitimized by ethical values and moral imperatives.
With his tragedy, written in 442 BC, the Greek poet Sophocles created a text that brings together all the essential conflicts of human existence: the confrontation between old and young, man and woman, society and the individual, the living and the dead, man and the gods. In times of increasing hostility towards democracy and the worldwide rise of populist tendencies, this eloquent play, written almost 2500 years ago, has lost none of its gripping, moving drama to this day.
