Description

International Festival of Ancient Greek Drama 2016

5th Season Art presents Sophocles’ Antigone, a diachronic criticism on the arrogance of power, directed by Themis Moumoulidis, using a new translation by Panayiota Pandazi. It is a contemporary approach to the masterly tragedy presented in a poetic visual environment, complemented with contemporary music by Stavros Gasparatos.

In Antigone, a deeply political text, the need of the free man to live in accordance with his personal value system, clashes with the attempted dominance of an arbitrary and arrogant power. However, is it possible for one to represent the whole of society, and therefore claim universal legitimacy and acceptance of his authority? Antigone decides to bury her brother, convinced that the unwritten law of the heart is above human law.
