antigone lives

By Susanna Fournier

antigone lives* is an unfaithful re-telling of Sophicles’ original. It’s more like a rave than a play and combines techno, despair, and family politics in a 200 bpm exploration of the carcass of democracy and notions of revolution. There’s also a goat and a pack of jackals attempting to navigate the growing crisis of displaced peoples in our “global village”. Originally commissioned by Residenztheatre as a part of “WELT/BÜHNE” 2018 Festival of international new works in Munich, Germany.

Production History

The world premiere of antigone lives* was produced by Residenztheatre in Munich, Germany, June 24th, 2018, directed by Rikki Henry.

It was then produced in Calgary, Alberta, directed by Christine Brubaker at the University of Calgary School of Performing Arts.
