Bodo Wartke & Melanie Haupt - Antigone

The new play by Bodo Wartke! Following Oedipus Rex, the piano cabaret artist proves his acting talent for the second time with a tragedy by Sophocles. Wartke and his long-time stage partner Melanie Haupt play all the roles in the play in rapid role changes with few props in a minimalist stage design. The contemporary interpretation not only delves deeply into the story of Oedipus' eldest daughter, but also incorporates the prequel that Sophocles tells in Oedipus at Colonus. With all due respect, yet humorously, the creators of the play approach their Antigone without detracting from the tragedy of the piece.
