This adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone for this Hadi Shehu theatre production is a unique take. Through an intentional merge of the two plays (Sophocles and Anoulih’s), new performative material has been created for this production - more intense and ‘redecorated’ with some ‘fresh pain’ - that proves once again that the fate of humans, just like human dramas and tragedies, repeat themselves. The show draws attention to the patriarchy, not only as an oppressive system of power and as an obstructor to social development and prosperity, but also as a form of oppression of one of the most sublime feelings: the human need to remember. 

This Antigones is a testament to the mothers - the women of Kosovo, who with determination challenge forgetfulness and social arrogance. When our memory forgets the terror and misery of pain and suffering, we find it again in the eyes of these women - the women of Kosovo, the women of Gjakova.
