In the aftermath of a bitter war, King Kreon honors only one of Antigone’s brothers with a proper burial, and forbids the burial of the other. Antigone’s response kicks off a series of tragic events that challenge all in their path. Anne Carson’s modern and vivid translation of Sophokles’ classic Greek tragedy brings the tale of Antigone’s unshakable moral compass to a contemporary world.
Presented by a troupe of singing, dancing, juggling, clowning, kazoo-playing and ukulele-strumming local performers, this colorful production brings you a 2500 year old story of love, bravery, and injustice as you have never seen it before!
