Edipo Re, a play by Sofocles
Directed by Robert Carsen
Greek Teather, Siracusa May 18 - July 3
Oedipus, the stranger who had defeated the Sphinx ten years earlier, reigns in Thebes, husband of Jocasta and father of four children.                                  Led by a priest, his subjects ask him for help against the plague ravaging the city. At first Oedipus searches for the cause indicated by the oracle, the murderer of the previous king, Laius, then his search becomes a search for his own identity, which a messenger reveals to him is different from what he believed. A cross-examination finally leads to the truth. Oedipus is the son of Laius, he unknowingly killed his father, married his mother and fathered four sons-brothers.
