APGRD Notes
A fragmentary and polyphonic environmental performance adapted from Sophocles' Antigone, drawing on several of the play's reception texts. Source texts include works by Albert Camus, Anaïs Nin, Antonin Artaud, Bertolt Brecht, Dante Alighieri, Edgar Alan Poe, Ezra Pound, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Friedrich Nietzsche, Heiner Müller, Hölderlin, Jean Anouilh, Jean Cocteau, Jean Paul Sartre, Julian Beck, Lao Tsé, and Mallarmé. Scenes involve spectator participation and included a retelling of the myth from the perspective of the people, not the monarchs, and a Bacchanal in which Creon's costume phallus is cut off and ritually buried.
