    Adapted from the original play 'Antigone' by Sophocles.
  • Achoimre

    In The Burial at Thebes, a young woman defies the law of the king with violent and tragic consequences. This version of Sophocles' original play 'Antigone' explores the dangers of pride and absolute belief regardless of personal, political and moral consequences especially in the eternal struggle between the individual and the state, between conscience and society and between divine law and human law.
