The story of Antigone and her tragic fate in the struggle to assert her own beliefs is well known. But too few know the story of her sister Ismena - who, trying to avoid the curse that decimated her family, is left alone to mourn the death of her loved ones. In a disarming confession, Ismena comes forward to tell her side of the story. Ismena, that is, her sister, who survives to see how all her happiness is nothing but a farce at the hands of the gods. With tenderness and sincerity, Cristina Ragos offers us, under the guidance of director Hunor Horváth, a sensitive one-woman show about pain and healing, about loss and hope, but also about the fragility of a world that, in the face of the thirst for power, loses its own humanity.
