Françoise Boillat embodies Antigone in a minimalist staging that places the ancient tragedy among seven remarkable trees. The production distils Sophocles’ themes of duty, law and nature into intimate, ritual moments: a burial becomes a courageous act that pits personal conscience against political authority. Sparse movement, nuanced soundscapes and focused lighting amplify the tactile textures of skin, earth and breath, creating a solemn, sensory experience that lets the myth resonate with contemporary questions of justice and inheritance.
