"To2borne" is a dark satirical adaptation of Antigone set in a dystopian, collapsing version of Thebes. The city is run by Creon, a leader obsessed with "The Market" and political stability at the cost of human dignity. The story follows the aftermath of the civil war between brothers Eteocles and Polynices. While one is honored, the other is left to rot. Antigone defies Creon’s edict to bury her brother, triggering a chain of tragic events. However, this tragedy is mediated through the lens of a hyper-capitalist "Influencer",an immortal figure who treats the carnage as content for tourism and likes.
