Antigone in the Amazon is (overall!!!!) incredibly incredibly incredibly good. Theatre is like high school football. The highs and lows.
#sorry it's just. antigone was so good ans last weeks thing was so bad (SO bad)#and antigone for the record was like 90% good 10% stuff i needed a dramaturg for#which usually i wouldn't even mention if its that type of ratio except that what was bad was very much this sense of the flemish theatre#makers overstepping into the stories they were telling. it was like it was 45% indigenous Brazilian stories and 55% belgian#and that 5% really does nag#but ! its (to an extent) nitpicking it was truly truly excellent if its ever at a festival near you i do recommend#or a theatre but i dont have a lot of be/nl followers so#i was actually very interested by the restructuring of polynices' role when comparing him to a real life martyr whose story they told before#the prologue (or ig as the prologue) and there was so much that was just so brilliant about it#my mom said it was revolutionising the shape of theatre which i wholeheartedly disagree with but it was an incredible story abou ~revolution#(its not lit about revolution but it has the soul of it)#in terms of theatre forms its very much on par with the current trends (where im from anyway) but it did do it very well#bc it was quite heavy on the projection and while i usually say that projection in theatre is a sign of bad times it was so well done#so ig if you wanna call that revolutionary then sure but not really#ugh it was so good
