Centered on Antigone’s fight for justice for her activist brother, whose political beliefs clash with the ruling regime, the musical unfolds in a world shaped by mounting pressure, humor, and uncompromising conviction.
This new retelling blends dynamic storytelling, dance, and moments of audience participation with the exploration of themes of love, divided loyalties, political conviction, and the cost of moral courage.
