Based on the tragedy “Oedipus the King” by Sophocles

The modern man has lost his tragedy.
He abandoned his projects, renounced his principles and virtues.
He gave up wondering about, questioning, and changing his life.
By reconciliation, he preferred to make a game out of life.
And this is the tragedy of modern man: to pretend not to see his reality.
In "Where is Oedipus?” life is questioned by means of a game against the case of making a game out of life. This is done by creating a real exploring process in which life/game/ stage and man/ acting part/ actor are presented simultaneously for both Oedipus and the audience in a puzzle with the movement of the actors and the lights.
