In the Brazilian state of Pará, forests are burning due to the expansion of soya monocultures and nature is being devoured by unbridled extractivism. Swiss director Milo Rau and his team went to meet with activists from the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra (MST), the largest movement of landless workers in the world, to create together an allegorical play about the violence suffered by nature and the inhabitants of these lands. The director invokes the figure of Antigone to create a fruitful dialogue between contemporary reality and ancient myth, theatre, cinema and music, activism and art.
