The victorious leader Creon, who is forced to choose between his public responsibility and personal concerns and all too late realises the fatal consequences of his decisions. Derek Walcott directs a company of over 30 orchestra, soloists and chorus to recreate the action in Heaney’s epic poem with dramatic narration in a Trinidadian Rapso style.
