Antigone: A Genderqueered Act of Resistance. Theater Transgression remixes gender, power, interactive video, wearable sculpture, gutter glamour and queer grandeur in an intergalactic explosion of color in post-apocalyptic Thebes. A superstar virtual chorus joins a cast of eight transgender and genderqueer actors to retell this tale of war, authoritarianism, defiance, and love.
Written by Sophocles translated by J.E. Thomas. Directed collectively.
Preview performance at Brecht Forum, NYC. Weekend run at House of Yes, Brooklyn.
