"Oedipus" in Purgatory

"It is a story about the disappearance of democracy. About the attempt of a ruler to fix the country, to find the reason for the decay and decay. And it fails gloriously. For a long, long time. The fight between rational and irrational principles," says Vito Taufer, who directed the work based on Sophocles' text
