In Thebes in ancient Greece, King Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother Jocasta, having two sons - Eteocles and Polyneices - and two daughters - Ismene and Antigone. King Oedipus dies a beggar in the exile after gouging out his own eye, and Eteocle agrees to reign in Thebes in alternating years with Polynices. However, he refuses to resign after the first year and Polynieces raises an army and attacks Thebes, and they kill each other. The ruler of Thebes Creon decrees that Eleocles should have an honorable burial while the body of the traitor Polyneices should be left on the battlefield to be eaten by the jackals and vultures. However, Antigone, who was betrothed to Creon's surviving son Haemon, defies Creon's orders and buries her brother. When Creon is reported of the attitude of Antigone, he sentences her to be placed in a tomb alive. Antigone hangs herself in the tomb and Haemon tries to kill his father first and then he kills himself with his sword...

In the unstable aftermath of a civil war, Creon, the new King of Thebes, asserts his authority by forbidding anyone from honouring the death of the traitor Polyneices.

Polly Findlay's electric 2012 production brings Sophocles' tragedy into the modern world as a gripping political thriller.

Antigone in Ferguson / 2020

Antigone in Ferguson is a groundbreaking project, developed by Theater of War Productions, which fuses dramatic readings by acclaimed actors of Sophocles’ Antigone with live choral music performed by a diverse choir, including activists, youth, teachers, police officers, & concerned citizens from St. Louis, Missouri & New York City, culminating in powerful, healing discussions about race & social justice. Antigone in Ferguson was conceived in the wake of Michael Brown’s death in 2014. In this version, Oscar Isaac—who plays the Theban king Creon—is joined by Tracie Thoms as Antigone, Marjolaine Goldsmith as her sister, Ato Blankson Wood as her fiancé, Willie Woodmore as the blind prophet Tiresias & New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams as a messenger & guard. A live choir conducted by Dr. Philip Woodmore will accompany the performance, & two of its soloists, De-Rance Blaylock & Duane Foster, have a special relationship to the subject: They were Michael Brown's teachers.

Antigone/Rites of Passion / 1990

This first feature by Amy Greenfield brings to the screen the story of the daughter of Oedipus in an emotionally relentless, visually stunning New Music Film Opera which challenges the conventions of narrative cinema to create a genre of its own. The 2500-year-old drama of the woman who defied the state to bury her brother is transformed through stark, ceaseless movement, haunting sounds and music (including themes from Glen Branca, David Van Tieghem, Elliot Sharp and Diamanda Galas) and words of outcry against our own world's injustice.

Let the Sunshine In (antigone) contest#1 / 2009

Due interpreti in uno spazio immenso, che, nella totale solitudine di coppia, si trasformano in (Antigone e Polinice), (Eteocle e Polinice), (Ismene e Antigone)… fratelli-personaggi volutamente posti fra parentesi, anch’essi pretesti mitopoietici.

Too Late! (antigone) contest#2 / 2009

#Antigone/Emone si confronta con Creonte, secondo un crudo meccanismo di esposizioni e sfide che amplificano, in modo subdolo, i giochi di potere fra padri e figli, ma anche quelli dei "Nuovi Dittatori" d'oggi, che, nascosti dietro alle retoriche del "benessere" e del successo a tutti i costi, tentano di ammaestrare anche i dichiarati disobbedienti.

Antigone: Through the Ages / 2014

Honor. Love. Integrity. We follow the journey of "Antigone" from Germany in 1631 to a current-day Mediterranean kingdom where the new king has forbidden, on pain of death, the funeral of her brother. But, "Antigone" defies her uncle. Framed in the structure of a traditional Greek drama, Antigone: Through the Ages deconstructs the timeless themes of Sophocles' original to reconstruct them in the context of historical and contemporary events to illuminate the universality of its story.
