Antigone is a thorough textual and musical portrait of a family torn apart by politics and passion. A fiery story in which the heart and reason question each other in a breathtaking soundscape.

The morning after the war - corpses in the grass covered with dew. In a new and uncertain political climate, father Kreon (Bart Klever) and (foster) daughter Antigone (Alejandra Theus) fight to the death. Power and resistance. Love and struggle.

Head and heart.

How far are you willing to go and where do you draw the line?
