2.500
years ago, Sophocles the Athenian introduces the conflict of a young
princess named Antigone who opposes the State’s power in order to bury her dead
brother. At that moment, the moment of Democracy’s birth, a question
is born that is still unanswered today.
Is human law Justice?
Alpha is a Transmedia Cinematic Performance inspired by the ancient myth of Antigone, by our actual present and by this exact same question posed 2.500 years ago.

Alpha is a live performance in which the performer plunges into her dark subconscious onstage, while a feature film inundates the entire stage. The film blends in the set design forcing a dream to coexist with reality, and a human touch to hold hands with a cinematic cut - two worlds unfolding in unison before the eyes of the audience.
In the film -inspired by the myth of Antigone- Alpha is forced to watch her hanged brother rot in the middle of a burnt forest, until the authorities decide that she has been punished enough. On stage, Alpha re-inhabits her family house, dives into her memorabilia and caves in her absurd psyche. The Transmedia Cinematic Performance lets cinema serve as an actor on stage, in a contemporary representation of a modern day Tragedy.
