Summary/Abstract: This article examines the work of Divadlo bez domova (Theatre Without a Home), a Slovak theatre using the A.N.T.Y.G.O.N.E. methodology, which adapts Greek tragedy to give voice to marginalized groups (homeless, people with psychiatric diagnoses or disabilities, former prisoners). The article analyzes the theoretical foundations of dramatherapy, exploring how the methodology integrates storytelling, mask-making, and theatrical approaches to foster creative expression. A case study of their Antigone production is presented, highlighting its impact on participants and audiences.
