This pared-down version of Sophocles' Antigone condenses the ancient drama to its essentials, performed by just two actors alongside a live electronic musician.
The production sets up a series of charged oppositions — punishment and conscience, youth and age, woman and man, individual and state — asking the audience to reflect on where their sympathies lie: with the rebel Antigone or the authority figure Kreon.
Presented by ZeBU and Signe Kærup Dahl, the production frames the classical text within the ongoing tradition of civil disobedience and contemporary political conflict, exploring how state power shapes the individual.
