Antigone defies the law for the sake of a greater cause. This is a stripped-back version of Sophocles' tragedy, performed by two actors and a live electronic musician at Teater ZeBU.
The production sets psychological, political and philosophical dilemmas against one another: punishment and conscience, young and old, individual and society. Audiences are asked whom they sympathise with, the rebel Antigone or the authority figure Creon. Staged by Jørgen Carlslund, with Jan Overgaard Mogensen, Carl Martin Norén and Cipa Pape, it asks how the state affects the individual and how we experience that in today's conflicts.
Jan Overgaard Mogensen is also performing Antigone at Teater ZeBU on 9, 10 and 18 November 2026.
