this is a rave-performance combining techno, despair, and family politics in a 200 bpm exploration of the carcass of democracy and notions of revolution. there's also a goat and a pack of jackals attempting to navigate the growing crisis of displaced peoples in our *global village*.
the world premiere was commissioned by Residenztheatre in munich, germany and directed by rikki henry.
antigone lives* took calgary by storm in a production at the school of creative and performing arts at university of calgary before erupting in toronto during RiserX, a collaboration between toronto metro university and why not theatre at the theatre centre.
