Show «Contra Antígona»
Contra Antígona takes one of the great myths of classical theatre and places it before an uncomfortable question: if Antigone existed today, what would she be willing to do? The new production directed by Andrea Jiménez does not seek to revisit the text through nostalgia, but to confront it with the present and force it to engage with our reality.
About this event
The play begins with an unsettling idea: in societies that consider themselves stable and democratic, who today bears the cost of disobedience? Who decides to put themselves on the line, take risks or question what appears immovable? The classical conflict no longer belongs to the past and is recast through questions about commitment, power and contemporary forms of resistance.
The proposal plays with the boundaries between myth and contemporaneity, even rethinking essential figures of Greek theatre, such as the chorus or the very idea of the enemy. The result is a provocative perspective that avoids easy answers and prefers to open up cracks.
In Catalan and lasting 150 minutes, Contra Antígona turns a millennia-old story into an uncomfortable mirror in which the present ends up observing itself.
