“This dramatic text speaks to modern times in terms of the fact that the causes of everything that is currently happening to us have to be sought in our past. The world is currently being plagued by the coronavirus and all of us seem to be Oedipuses trying to understand how this evil has fallen upon us and where did it come from. Every action causes a reaction and all this evil is our own doing, whether conscious or unconscious. Now nature seeks revenge for the pollution and destruction caused by both physical actions and our greed, malice and hatred. The world has never been more polluted and in order that we might solve those issues, we are compelled to go way back in the past to pinpoint the causes of our misery. Or, to be more precise, we have neither launched an investigation nor set out to solve problems on a global scale.

We are still, as the character of the blind prophet Tiresias put it, „Blind, though we have sight.“ Through this mythical story, Diego de Brea, in his own peculiar way, conveys with his directing means all the coldness, hardship, brutality and evil that emanate from people as if from Pandora’s Box. Always new, unexpected and more brutal than the one before; because misfortunes never come singly.” – Džejna Hodžić
