Reactor Antígona

Marianela Boán Danza Company, Dominican Republic

DANCE

This is an Antigone without Creon, trapped in the dictatorship of kinship. She lives with her inner dictator. She rebels against Creon’s power but succumbs to the supposed feminine virtue of submission. Female sacrifice becomes a daily custom, even leading to self-immolation and death. Antigone, Oedipus, and Polynices, always emigrants, cling to their essence to survive. Elegua, to open the way, Oia, to announce death, accompany these Greek characters from the Caribbean. Antigone, caregiver, emigrant, rebel and submissive, brave and cowardly, is a reactor that generates a magnetic field that moves the other characters and the audience. Polynices is a boxer obsessed with violence; Oedipus wanders blind and dresses as a woman, like Jocasta. Antigone carries Polynices’ enormous naked body, trying to hide it. Theater, dance, dry leaves, and the heavy burdens of emigrants.

For ages 18 and over.
Duration: Approximately 60 minutes.
