Event description
A world just after a fratricidal war. A world in which all the strong and healthy have died. Only the old, the unfit and the very young have remained. They are the ones who must rebuild the world – those who no longer have the strength to work and change, and those who are not yet capable of changing the world. The external war is over, but it continues in people's minds – they must continue to fight, take revenge, create enemies. The war with swords turns into a war with corpses. Can reconciliation between the young and the old only happen after death? When and how to let go? Is it possible to stop fighting, taking revenge and settling scores, and simply live a normal life?
The musical ‘Antigone’ tells Sophocles' tragedy in contemporary rap language. It builds a bridge between the world of ancient heroes, values and choirs, and the world of today's young people, whose rebellion and heroism blend with confusion, fear and uncertainty. Bisz, one of the most important contemporary Polish songwriters and rappers, will be responsible for the lyrics and music (along with Michał Szlempo).
