Oedipus is the son of Laius. Unknowingly, he killed his father, married his mother, and fathered four children, who are his siblings. A work by Sophocles, directed by Robert Carsen, dramaturgy by Ian Burton, translation by Francesco Morosi. The show was revived as part of the 57th season of the INDA Foundation at the Greek Theater in Syracuse.
Blind and wandering, Oedipus arrives in Colonus, near Athens, supported by Antigone and then also by Ismene. Everyone avoided him, but now everyone seeks him, because the city that will have his tomb will be invincible, according to the oracles. Oedipus drives everyone away and, accompanied by the Athenian king Theseus, sets off towards death. Directed by Robert Carsen.
