Starring Broadway and screen actress Nicole Ansari and internationally renowned Comédie Francaise actor Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam, I AM ANTIGONE is a timely story of one woman’s stand against the abuse of political power. This contemporary retelling of Sophocles’ Antigone is written by poet Saudamini Siegrist and directed by award-winning Myriam Cyr. Defying Creon’s command by performing burial rites for her beloved brother Polynices, Oedipus’s daughter Antigone is condemned to be buried alive in a tomb. And there, impervious to time, she lives to this day. Defiant, funny, real, and an unapologetic defender of truth, Antigone denounces the abuse of power, testifying to the ability we all possess to oppose injustice and government corruption. A rebellion not only of her own time, but of all times, I AM ANTIGONE speaks to every individual who dares to take a stand against tyrannical power.
