  Abstract:   The present article, Antigone or the triumph of the text confronted to the stage, takes as a starting point Sophocles’ tragedy and follows its adaptations and transformations in the modern and post-modern theatrical creations. What happens when a literary figure keeps fascinating the world of theatre? How does tragedy turn into drama and what is still available from its dramatic substance on a stage where the borders between reality and fiction, characters and actors are voluntary blurred? Can we still talk about a post-dramatic theatre, when the dramatic intensity of life overflows the literary text and vice versa? Some answers are proposed through the close analysis of a few examples such as Jean Anouilh and Jean Cocteau’s plays or the contemporary Motus Team’s Syrma Antigones performance.

Keywords: Antigone, Sophocles, Cocteau, Anouilh, Syrma Antigones, text, rewriting, interpretation, history of theatre, post-dramatic.
