“When her dead brother is decreed a traitor, his body left unburied beyond the city walls, Antigone refuses to accept this most severe of punishments. Defying her uncle who governs, she dares to say 'No'. Forging ahead with a funeral alone, she places personal allegiance before politics, a tenacious act that will trigger a cycle of destruction.”

This production centered Antigone as a tale of grief and the struggles of familial trauma through mask, projections, movement, and more, serving as my in-person directing debut.
