As Antigone struggles to fulfill her moral duty, she must also confront the authority, Creon, King of Thebes, who seeks to punish anyone who disobeys him; and who stands as a formidable obstacle between her and her beliefs. She fights to confer burial rights for her brother - who Creon deems a traitor - she is confronted with the painful choice of obeying the laws of the state, or honoring the moral laws of the gods. To Antigone, she is righteous in her acts against Creon. To Creon, she represents its ruination.
In a world grappling with questions of justice, loyalty, and moral courage, Antigone remains as defiant and necessary as ever. This production invites audiences not only to witness a heartbreaking tragedy, but to confront the timeless question at its heart: when the law is unjust, do you dare to stand against it?
