Description:

AntigoneNOW

Available On-Demand NOV 12–19

In the midst of a bombed-out city still feeling the aftershocks of war, the rebellious and intense Antigone defies her uncle to bury her disgraced brother. This contemporary response to the myth of Antigone brings powerful, modern prose to an ancient and universal story. This short screening is made possible by Northwestern Faculty member Roger Ellis who choreographed the piece. The film will be streamed online with a talkback included.

Devised from the translation by Seamus Heaney
Directed by Sinéad Rushe and Margaret Laurena Kemp
Movement consultant/choreographer Roger Ellis

Run time: 20 minutes, talkback planned, details to come
