The and film maker Peider A. Defilla devotes himself to Carl Orff again: WERGO is now going to release his film “Antigonae” based on a production of the Darmstadt State Theatre. This DVD edition “Carl Orff” presents a new view of the significant 20th-century composer Carl Orff (1895–1982). - Creon, new ruler of Thebes, issues a burial ban for Polyneices, Oedipus’s son. Antigonae disobeys Creon’s orders and buries her brother, so as to abide the laws of the Gods. Despite the warnings of the citizens and the seer Tiresias, Creon sentences Antigonae to death by walling her in. However, by annihilating Antigonae, Creon also destroys his very own existence: in quick succession, his son, who is engaged to Antigonae, and his spouse commit suicide.
