Antigone: In the Language of Kings is a production by Latino Theater Company that reimagines Sophocles' ancient Greek tragedy by setting it in pre-conquest Tenochtitlan, Mexico, weaving in pre-Hispanic music, poetry, and Aztec mythology. The adaptation explores themes of loyalty, familial duty, resistance, and the clash between divine law and state authority.

The production is directed by Jose Luis Valenzuela and adapted by Evelina Fernández, with costume design by Maria Catarina Copelli, set design by François-Pierre Couture, lighting design by Xinyuan Li, sound design by John Zalewski, music by Christopher Garcia, projection design by Yee Eun Nam, and movement and choreography by Urbanie Lucero,

The play will be performed in English, Spanish, and Nahuatl, with English and Spanish supertitles available throughout the performance.

An ASL-interpreted performance will take place on September 24.

News About Antigone: In the Language of Kings at Getty Villa

Interview: Maria Catarina Copelli on Costuming ANTIGONE: IN THE LANGUAGE OF KINGS at Getty Villa Outdoor Stage

August 27, 2026

I spoke with costume designer Maria Caterina Copelli, an award-winning Brazilian costume designer whose career spans film, theater, opera, commercial campaigns and music videos, on her vision for creating a variety of Aztec costumes for 23 actors and how she researched designs to base her creations on authenticity for them to reflect the social structure of Aztec society. And since she brings passion, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail to every project, no doubt the hundreds of costumes for Antigone: In the Language of Kings will be quite spectacular!
