  • "Fiction. Drame. Approche innovatrice sous forme d'une interprétation fiction/danse de la tragédie grecque Antigone de Sophocle. Dans la mythologie grecque, Antigone est la fille d'Oedipe, roi de Thèbes, et de la reine Jocaste, sa mère. Elle est ainsi la soeur de Polynice qui pour s'être opposé au roi Créon, son oncle, est condamné par celui-ci à être privé de sépulture, c'est-à-dire d'errer sans reposer en paix. Antigone s'oppose, seule, à cette décision. Elle va jeter quelques poignées de terre sur le corps de Polynice et déposer sa chevelure sur sa tombe en guise d'offrande. Elle est jugée par Créon et condamnée à être enterrée vivante. Avec Bertram Ross, Janet Eilber, Amy Greenfield, Sean McElroy, Henry Montes, Silvio Facchin."
