The play examines the mythical story from the Sophocles play, while simultaneously engaging in the interpretation of the myth, along with documentary dramatic interventions that open space for discussion. In this new play, Antigone is not a tragic heroine of the struggle for justice, a mythological figure, instead by her actions she intensifies the problem of democracy to the very disintegration of the meaning of the concept itself.
