JOCASTAS, based on Sophocles’ King Oedipus and G. Steiner’s Antigone – among others – is a documentary and an archive of objects, memories and testimonies. Records of 2023 that will remain with us forever.

“When I spoke earlier about the responsibility of building a future, it also has to do with this, with the political awareness of a future. Working in the opposite direction, of allowing hope to exist, for there to continue to be hope for the future. So my revolution, in fact, is this responsibility. My revolution at the moment is precisely to fight and allow those who follow me to continue to believe, to not give up, to resist…” in JOCASTAS
