Antigonick

“I AM BORN FOR LOVE NOT HATRED” - ANTIGONE

A wedding bouquet. A community in conflict. A family pulled apart by war. Witnesses, messengers, conversations in the dark, and many, many acts of love…

Join MIT, Wellesley, and Harvard students—along with local artists and community members—as we explore the spirited debates about love at the heart of Antigonick, a contemporary, visual translation of Sophocles’ Antigone, by Anne Carson and Bianca Stone.

Participate in our immersive staging of personal questions that resonate for us inside this mythic story. What are some of the practical, everyday ways that we live through loss? How do we respond when individual values, the natural world, and laws of the state collide? Crack an egg, bake a cake, and help us imagine what hope could look like here…

May 1, 2, 3 performances begin at 8pm and May 4 performance begins at 2pm in Building W97 (345 Vassar Street, Cambridge, MA).

Free and open to the public.
