Performance «Antígona González»

On the stage of Madrid’s Centro Cultural Conde Duque, Sophocles’ tragedy comes to life in the contemporary world of the disappeared, where personal loss is transformed into a struggle for memory and justice.

About this event

In this space, a mythical story with contemporary resonance is revived: the play Antígona González transposes Sophocles’ tragedy to the painful reality of Mexico, where disappearances have become an everyday reality. The protagonist searches for her younger brother, who vanished without a trace, and confronts threats, fears and social prejudice, turning her personal loss into a symbol of the struggle for memory and justice. Marina de Tavira’s staging, directed by Sandra Félix, transforms the ancient myth into a contemporary story about pain, resistance and the unceasing search, in which every image reflects the lives of thousands of women who never stop looking for their loved ones.
