Επτά επί Θήβας

In the shadow of Thebes' massive walls, a desperate siege unfolds as seven champions, each bearing the banner of a different god, march toward the city’s gates. The drama pivots on the bitter rivalry of the two sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polynices, whose oath to share the throne has shattered, leaving the city caught in a curse that haunts their lineage. As night approaches, the air trembles with the clash of steel and the foreboding chorus of Theban maidens, who chant ancient laments that foretell the cost of vengeance.

Amid the looming battle, the citizens grapple with conflicting duties: the senate’s decree to deny burial to the enemy and the fierce devotion of Antigone, who insists that even a foe deserves the rites of the dead. This moral clash fuels the tension, raising questions about law, piety, and familial loyalty. Listeners will be drawn into a world where fate and personal choice collide, setting the stage for a tragedy that reverberates through every spoken word.
