About this event
The myth of Antigone, daughter and granddaughter of Oedipus, still resonates thousands of years later. In this concentrated 75-minute staging, director Selen Kara views the ancient conflict through a female lens, asking what the 'unwritten law' Antigone invokes means for today. The tight ensemble – led by Annie Nowak as a headstrong Antigone and Arash Nayebbandi as a surprisingly vulnerable Creon – delivers a stringently told tragedy that critics praised for its tension and textual clarity. Subtle, atmospheric music by Torsten Kindermann and a stark, geometric set create a chamber-play intensity on the Schauspielhaus main stage. Expect a serious, gripping evening that finds quiet power in the timeless clash between moral conviction and authority.
