A modern version of the classic myth of toxic masculinity from Sophocles to Donald Trump. The clash of antiquity with the present, of myth with #MeToo Movement.
The story of a queen who – as is customary in ancient tragedies – enjoyed suffering for several lifetimes to come. The story of a woman who has always been on the fringes of men (theatre characters and authors). The story of a character who, in Sophocles’ famous tragedy, is given the most space at the moment when the messenger describes her suicide. The production of Iokasté is an attempt at feminist retribution on this myth. It combines a contemporary poetic text with a strong movement and visual component.
The production was co-produced by the Prague City Theatres and the Slovak Chamber Theatre Martin.
The production was made with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Institute in Prague.
