‘Wait to see life's ending ere thou count one mortal blest
Wait till free from pain and sorrow he has gained his final rest.’





In this work, I try to combine "the sublimity of Kantian aesthetics" with "entertainment and game sense", the spirit of today, aiming to create a new aesthetic.


Instead of presenting the tragedy on Oedipus or exploring the Oedipus complex, I wanted to show the huge deviation and difference between the personal circumstances of the current era and the noble spirit of ancient Greece through the stage settings and property installations. This difference is the darkness given to every individual by our current era. It is also a state in-between "the departure of gods " and "the arrival of future deities".
I tried to present the living conditions of each individual in this era, describing the lives of those self-caged Oedipus through games.
