The story of Oedipus is the one of a man who doesn’t know who he is ...

Well before his birth, an oracle predicted to his father Laios, King of Thebes, that he was to be killed by his very own son. To evade this curse, the King and the Queen abandoned Oedipus far away from their kingdom. A shepherd found the child and offered him to the King of Corinth who raised the child as his very own son without ever disclosing the secret of his true origin.

When the oracle finally reveals to the young Oedipus that he will murder his father and his mother’s lover, he runs away from his adopted home hoping he may escape his fate. But actualy, he gets closer and closer to it…

The stage is empty, windswept. The arrow fired from its maker launches the infernal machinery into motion. A raft falls apart on the ground. We embark on a journey, an unknown voyage, a wandering.

Nevertheless, our Oedipus does not allow himself to be manipulated.

Headstrong, a fierce fighter, often short tempered, he fights for his survival. He vehemently refuses his fate ready to send his puppeteer overboard. We imagine an Œdipus who rocks in anger rumbling like a storm. We propose a killer thriller filled with humor.

Oedipus, the puzzle decoder unravels his own mystery. He is at once the detective and the murderer.
