Sophocles was a restless, committed playwright with a profound sense of the social and humanistic meaning of theatre. Establishing a contemporary connection with an author, so far removed by time yet so close in his poetic sensibility, also presents a truly stimulating artistic challenge. OEDIPUS REX is one of the great creations of the Greek tragedians that endures in the imagination of modern human beings in the clearest and most evocative way. This is a unique production in which the beauty of the puppets, the lyricism of the chorus, and live music combine, creating a ritual atmosphere that elevates each and every one of its characters – a poetic space ambiguous between the sacred and the irremediably human.
