The great Belgian director Guy Cassiers turns two classic myths into contemporary personalities who fight against sexual, social and political prejudices

  • Classics revisited
  • New technologies
  • To understand the world

Guy Cassiers, one of the most outstanding Belgian creators, rewrites two classical myths with contemporary language and contextualised in an urban setting: a Muslim Antigone from Molenbeek (Brussels) who wants to bury her brother, an ISIS suicide bomber, and Tiresias, a character who shifts from man to woman and from woman to blind prophet.
