The hardest part of the fight is figuring out which side to fight on.

What are the limits of power? And of strength? More than 400 years before Christ, Athenian playwright Sophocles opposed two forms of law: the natural (inherent to all human beings and created by the gods) and the legal (promoted by kings and states). The first one is represented by Antigone, who claims the impossibility of abandoning her brother's body to the animals. As for the second there is Creon, king of Thebes, obsessed with maintaining stability and who does not admit anyone challenging his orders. Andréa Beltrão dives headfirst into this ancient dramaturgy and brings the power of this discussion to 21st century Brazil. She plays all the characters, narrates parallel mythological stories that help in understanding the characters and plot. A great work for those who love Greek theater.
