Antigones by Anna Ziegler Directed by Tyne Rafaeli Featuring Celia Keenan-Bolger, Maria-Christina Oliveras, Marianne Rendón, Armando Riesco Friday December 2nd at 3pm ART/NY Conference Room, 520 8th Ave, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10018 Women’s bodies and the body politic collide in this reimagining of the classic drama. In Sophocles's Antigone, a woman defies the law to honor a loved one; in Ziegler's arresting retelling, Antigone battles the powers-that-be on more personal grounds. A contemporary adaptation for the #metoo and post-Roe moment, this is an Antigone that asks how we can possibly fix the world if we don’t even own our own bodies.
