Description
In front of injustice , who has the courage to change history?
Synopsis
We travel to a strange city inhabited by King Creon’s guards – the very ones who arrested Antigone, the one who defied the law. Here, nothing is as it seems, and everything is exactly as it appears. Music fills the air, yet not everyone hears it. The streets lead everywhere and nowhere. After discovering a strange object, the guards embark on a mission without orders or rules, a tumultuous, irreversible journey – straight to the centre of their hearts.
Confused? Good. That means you’re ready to enter.
