Description
Antigone: In the Language of Kings
Adapted from Sophocles by Evelina Fernández
Directed by José Luis Valenzuela
Co-produced by Latino Theater Company
Set in the vibrant world of pre-conquest Tenochtitlan, Mexico, this powerful reimagining of a classic tragedy confronts themes of loyalty, familial duty, and the clash between divine law and state edict. Weaving in pre-Hispanic music and poetry, this timeless story brings Aztec mythology to life in a rich historical tapestry that resonates across cultures, pitting love and defiance against tyranny.
USC students are invited to this Experience LA trip to see Antigone: In the Language of Kings, presented by The Getty Villa’s Outdoor Classical Theater series. This unique venue is modeled after ancient Greek and Roman prototypes, continuing an 8,000-year-old architectural tradition. Working with local and nationally acclaimed theater companies, this series ambitiously reimagines and revives the myths and plays of antiquity, from the most venerated to long-overlooked works.
Presented by USC Visions and Voices.
