German version by Walter Jens

Adapted by Lilja Rupprecht and Meike Schmitz

“I was born to join in love, not hate - that is my nature.” (Sophocles)

 The war of Thebes is over. Argos, the aggressor, has been defeated. The corpses lie upon the battlefield. Among them Oedipus’ two sons, Eteocles and Polyneices. The brothers killed each other in their fight for the throne, making Kreon the new ruler of Thebes. This new king’s first official act is to mandate that Eteocles should be buried and that Polyneices, being an enemy of Thebes, should lie and rot outside the gates of the city, without any burial ceremony. Any violation of this verdict will be punished with death. Antigone, the dead men’s sister, defies this horrific order. She buries her brother Polyneices, for she considers the laws of the Gods to be far more powerful than those of man. That this action might cause her own death is a risk she is ready to take.

First performed around 2500 years ago, Sophocles’ tragedy sets secular law against the laws of the Gods, reason of state against sibling love and rational logic against that of the heart. Antigone’s fate poses questions of responsibility, morality and the necessity of self-determination. These are the questions that Lilja Rupprecht and actors of the RambaZamba Theater, the Deutsches Theater and a citizens’ choir are willing to battle out for you.

PRESSESTIMMEN

"Zora Schemm, eine der großen Protagonistinnen bei RambaZamba, gibt Antigone, die angstfreie Rebellin, die aus Schwesternliebe handelt. Schemm ist eine Erscheinung: Während alle Spieler in schwarz-weiß gehüllt sind, trägt nur ihre Antigone ein blutrotes Kleid; zusammen mit Schemms spiegelblanker Glatze, ihrem gestochen scharfen, harten, langsamen Tonfall und ihrem aufrechten Gang wirkt sie von voneherein wie eine entrückte Heldin, eine Außenseiterin par excellence." Barbara Behrendt, rbb Kulturradio

Antigone ist eine Koproduktion mit dem inklusiven RambaZamba Theater. Mit Zora Schemm im roten Kleid steht Kreon eine Antigone gegenüber, die ihm rhetorisch unterlegen ist. Aber wie sie ausharrt, als könne sie nicht anders, mit ihrem entwaffnend kritischen Blick, wie sie schwer, unerbittlich die Worte hinstanzt, scheint eine Widerständlerin auf, die das ewige Recht auf ihrer Seite weiß. Ihrem erdigen Rhythmus setzt Juliana Götze als mädchenhafte Ismene einen flatternden entgegen. Das ist ebenso sinnfällig wie der jugendliche Trotzfuror des Haimon von Aaron Smith."  Georg Kasch, Berliner Morgenpost
