About

What do you do when the state becomes the oppressor? Would you put your body on the line?

A young girl ready to die to defend what she thinks is right. A king determined to impose his will as the rule of law. Antigone, Interrupted re-imagines a classic story for a contemporary world through the body and voice of a single performer.

Choreographer Joan Clevillé presents an intimate solo work in his first creation as Artistic Director of Scottish Dance Theatre, together with acclaimed performer Solène Weinachter.

This show is taking part in our £1 Tickets project.

  • 4 Stars

    A tour de force in storytelling ... makes a two-and-a-half-thousand year old play feel extraordinarily relevant.
