The jury praised Lewicka's profound examination of the classic fabric of Sophocles and emphasized how it manages to give each actor their own space in order to bring the tragedy and pathos of the figures to life. "What is more needed in the theater than trusting the game and the text?" Said the jury. With a skillful handling of the theater, it creates a staging that both emotionally touched and stimulates thinking. Music, equipment and video harmonize perfectly and create an impressive atmosphere that captivates the audience.
