"Oedipus" is an analysis of Sophocles' famous tragedy. This performance is not only about the tragic fate of Oedipus, but also about a chain of wrong moral choices. The performance begins with the story of King Laius, Oedipus' father, thereby emphasizing that each event is prepared by Sophocles long before and has a deliberate meaning.
​
During the performance, the characters replace each other, unraveling the ball of the hero's seemingly tangled fate in front of the audience.
​
There is one actress on stage who embodies eight different characters.
​
"Oedipus" is not only a legendary detective story, but also a deep warning to viewers - to take a sober look at what is happening around and realize the cause-and-effect relationships of the consequences of their actions.
