Antigone in Analysis at La MaMa ETC

Obie and NYIT award-winning Peculiar Works Project returns to La MaMa ETC’s Downstairs Theater for the world premiere of Antigone in Analysis, written by Barbara Barclay and directed by Ralph Lewis. This contemporary makeover restories the classical myth as a feminist fever dream of Greek storytelling caught in a philosophical nightmare. The Chorus is centered in a metaphysical salon where Jocasta never committed suicide. Their meddling erupts in a mother-daughter throwdown that interrogates patriarchal storytelling through a feminist lens. And there is no battle more fiercely fought than that between a daughter and her mother.
