The UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance will present a radical new hybrid performance film of Sophocles’ classic tragedy titled Antigone NOW.

It will be streamed free online for a 24-hour period on May 23 beginning at Midnight. The production features a culturally diverse ensemble of female-identifying actors, each in seclusion, who will evoke the breadth of Antigone’s defiance against devastating loss: the inability to touch or bury the dead body of her brother.

Made collectively in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Japan using mobile phones, Ipads and video, this cast and creative team create a unique new work that confronts the isolation of our moment.
