Description

Antigone, the ancient daughter of myth, is cast into a cell because she wanted to bury her brother. Another daughter, in the present day, is locked in the prison of inertia. They struggle, each in her own way, to imprint their position on the map of the world, a fluid map reshaped time and again by the struggle for dominance. The country is ailing, the family is the same. Desire, devotion, and freedom continually lose ground to division, corruption, and dehumanization. The woman she loves is a castaway. Can the heroic example serve as a compass for her today?

The work began to be written in 2011, amidst the turmoil of social and economic crisis, and was completed in 2020. From its pages flash by snapshots of the unrestrained euphoria that preceded the crisis, the gangs of neo-Nazis, war refugees, detention camps, ecological destruction.

It seems one is led every now and then to the mythic archetype in order to grasp the unthinkable, that one is forced to “...discover an analogy / ...in order to be able to say / that the terrible reality we are living now is not / unique you know it has happened before / ...we are not without a compass...” (Anne Carson, Antigonick, 2012).
