Edipo Alcalde (1996)
La peste que azotó a Tebas en la tragedia de Sófocles es aquí la violencia sin par que¸ al igual¸ se ensaña en la Colombia de hoy. Edipo¸ un joven promotor de paz¸ es nombrado alcalde de un pueblo sumido en la miseria y en la violencia. Su primera misión consiste en descubrir y castigar a los asesinos de Layo¸ un conocido potentado de la región. Su investigación se orienta¸ entonces¸ hacia todas las facciones armadas que existen en Colombia: grupos guerrilleros¸ bandas paramilitares¸ organizaciones armadas de narcotraficantes¸ delincuentes comunes¸ fuerzas represivas del estado¸ etc. y al igual que en la tragedia clásica griega¸ el sueño premonitorio de Layo se cumple¸ resultando Edipo el asesino de su padre¸ el propio Layo¸ el amante de su madre y el padre de su hermano.
