LA FUERZA DE ANTIGONA

by Tlaloc Rivas

LA FUERZA DE ANTIGONA is a radical re-imagining of 'Antigone', set in the near future and performed by refugees, deportees, and ‘the exiled’. This bilingual version, written for an entirely female/genderqueer ensemble is a cry for justice and how we make meaning out of life, death, and the legacy of ‘borders’.
