Even though many judged them.
Even though they judged themselves a long time ago.
And even though they judged others.

A WORD FROM THE SELECTOR
In this play five mythical women are depicted with all their virtues and vices (Antigone, Mary Magdalene, Phaedo, Sappho and Clytemnestra). They are on trial, even though previously tried and convicted, they are re-examined and fight to have their voices heard. The artist successfully uses all the elements of artistic expression, reinventing the past for us. The play effectively uses visual art, in the form of video recordings, which richly illustrates the artistic expression.
