Anderson Ago, Raimo Pass, Ülle Lichtfeldt and Külli Reinumägi are the main members of the troupe, which is sponsored by Estonia’s R.A.A.A.M Theater Company.
In Greek mythology, Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, Oedipus’ mother. The name has been suggested to mean “opposed to motherhood”, or “in place of a mother”.
The name may also mean “against men” since men were dominant in the Ancient Greek family structure, and Antigone clearly defied masculine authority.
The play went on stage at Tehran’s Iranshahr Theater Complex in early August 2012.
The troupe performed the play during the 29th Fajr International Theater Festival in February 2011. Elina Reinold won the best actress award for playing the role of Antigone.
A performance of the play at the festival drew an audience of 800 theatergoers. The troupe also performed the play in several theaters across Estonia.
