Event Details:

By Sophocles, Adapted by Anne Carson

Directed by Ben Lohrber

Performed by: BFA 3rd Year Company

Ancient Greece looks suspiciously similar to the present day in the hands of world-renowned poet and MacArthur Genius Anne Carson (The Autobiography of Red). Antigone has lost two brothers but by law can only bury one. She takes a stand for her beliefs, pitting morality against patriotism, and in doing so starts a series of events that threaten the newfound national peace. It?s one of the most famous myths of all, told and re-told for more than two thousand years, but what use is a cautionary tale if no one heeds it? Carson?s biting and thrilling free translation brings Antigone to new light and casts unexpected shadows on issues of loyalty and family.
