Opening 18 March 2011
Antigone's central topic is burial and the prohibition of burial. Antigone's uncle Creon, the new king of Thebes, forbids the burial of Polyneices' body that is to be thrown to the vultures, while his brother Eteocles is to be buried observing burial rites. Antigone defies this edict and decides to bury her brother's body.
At the remnants of civilization Antigone disobeys the edict of the king of Thebes. Creon and Antigone's conflict escalates to catastrophic proportions. They both hope to win the citizens' support. Creon cannot be a ruler without their support, whereas Antigone expects their understanding. In the city pervaded with public secrets, in which no one knows who knows what and how much, everyone plays their own game. It turns out that power belongs to those who act in the background and make decision about the fate of individuals and of the state.
