Antonius & Kleopatra

In the organizer's words:

A burial chamber play for two bodyguards - because when two love each other, the third dies

"Love makes you blind and power makes you even more blind." This is written in large hieroglyphics above the lost tomb of Antony and Cleopatra. Two people who can tell you a thing or two about this are the bodyguards of the second greatest lovers in world history. As they search for the exit from the labyrinth of the new pyramid, the two argue about the right paths, dead ends, human abysses, Antony and Cleopatra's war of the roses, their significance for world events, historiography, the universe, and what conclusions mankind should, should, could or should not draw from them. A story about two duds of love and their tongue-in-cheek sentinels.
