Description

Strovolos Municipality, on the occasion of International Women's Day, presents the play 'Antigone' by Theatro Ena.

Antigone is an important play, written by Sophocles and a good example, for his modern techniques. The theoretical essence of the play is the conflict between individual conscience and the power of the state.

The tragedy was written somewhere around 442 BC. Chronologically, it is the third of the three Theban plays, but was the first to be written. The play continues Aeschylus' play Seven Against Thebes, and it extends the Theban legend that predated it.

Director: Andreas Christodoulides
