Themis Moumoulidis returns for the third time to “Antigone,” offering a fresh and provocative staging. Antigone’s “NO” rises as the ultimate affirmation: the unwavering decision not to yield. This is her own law.
The performance challenges fundamental conflicts: right vs. wrong, life vs. death, man vs. woman, light vs. darkness, authenticity vs. compromise, law vs. justice, defiance vs. submission.
It is a powerful denunciation of totalitarianism, which seizes power to impose control over human existence—even beyond death. A power that suppresses all humanity, fostering submission as the norm.
By embracing death, Antigone claims life—a life worth living. And so, even if Creon survives, it is effectively a continuous death for him, while Antigone opens the way toward the future.
