In this expansive panel discussion on the story of Antigone, scholars and artists (to be announced) examine how Sophokles’ ancient tragedy has been reinterpreted across artistic mediums to reflect contemporary society—as well as the timeless truths it continues to reveal.
Juliette Binoche and director Ivo van Hove collaborate in this taut version of Sophokles’ tragedy, set against vast video landscapes and featuring a new colloquial translation by poet Anne Carson.
Juliette Binoche and members of the company of Antigone discuss their powerful contemporary staging of Sophokles’ play.
