“And if I die
I will die happy.”
Antigone’s decision to oppose her uncle Kreon’s edict and bury her brother’s body sets into motion a series of events that will challenge the bonds of family, law, and justice. Kenneth Cavander (The Curse of Oedipus) returns to Antaeus in a powerful new adaptation of Sophokles’ Antigone.
Directed by Andy Wolk, this Greek tragedy delves deep into the clash between duty to the state and loyalty to one’s kin.
This event is made possible with support from the Peter J. and Caroline B. Caloyeras Endowment for the Arts and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
