Antigone. Eine neue, alte Geschichte

by Bettina Stockhammer, based on a play by Sophocles 

Age 12+

Head of Group: Bettina Stockhammer

Summary:

Set in a post-apocalyptic world that has reintroduced old ideas of law and order, young Antigone decides to stand up to her uncle Kreon and bury her brother, who as a traitor to the city of Theben has been sentenced to rot outside the city walls after having been slain in battle. Although she knows that a death sentence awaits her, loyalty prevails over her love for Haemon, Kreon’s son, and her sister Ismene. Based on Sophokles’ 2500 year old play, the tale of generation conflict, youthful stubbornness versus serene pragmatism and last but not least love and death is as gripping and tragic as ever. The traditional cast has been extended by a “girl-gang” and a “death-choir”.

A group of teenagers from a high school in Tel Aviv live their lives between studies, fun and dreams: Erez the nerd, Tamar the leader, Mia the weird, Danit the funny, Liraz the snobbery and Iftah from the student association.

When they are at a party in a club in Tel Aviv, Mia connects with a criminal boy from their school, who drugs her and makes her go crazy and get arrested by the police.

Mia connects with Niso and becomes his friend. They force Erez to steal things at school in order to "be accepted into the gang". As a result, Mia is arrested in his place. Following pangs of conscience, Erez decides to commit suicide, but gives up at the last moment. Tamar comes to visit him and tells him that Nisso stabbed Iftah and was arrested. They go to visit Mia who is in a criminal institution. They also bring Mia's mother with them. Mia and her mother reconcile after years of conflict.
