Perfomance

The performance studies the question of how to bring an ancient tragedy to contemporary post-dramatic context: what is the relevance and sense of studying and staging Antigone today?

The performance handles the themes of death, excess and the Apollonian Dionysian dichotomy. It studies and combines Sophocle’s text and characters, pop culture imagery, music as an organic part of acting and dramaturgy and ultimately the question of personal or intimate approach to a political subject.  The aim of the rehearsal process is to create a complete and uncompromising artwork through investigation and creative mutual process between different study disciplines.
