11 Ngo Thi Nham Str., Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi
From Goethe Institut:
Antigone belongs to the family of Oedipus, and so the tragedy starts. The story of ANTIGONE takes root from the scramble of her two brothers over the power of the crown. Both die in battle. The successor king Creon decides that the brother who protected the city would be buried but the other brother who attacked the city does not deserve a grave. Antigone disobeys the law and buries the unburied brother. She defies Creon’s law. And so Antigone must die.
The play ANTIGONE is about this ever-recurrent conflict between positive law and natural law, between government order and the universal order. The play exposes the threat by absolute rule and implies an alternative order without.
Trần Lực’s approach reminds us of Hegel’s theory of tragedy. “Antigone and Creon do not recognize that they are violating the other’s moral law through their actions and demands, because they (must) consider their own orientation to be paramount.”
*** The show is open to only a few guests. Audiences interested in the play, please watch the public performance on November 14, 2021.
