An ongoing reality of plague, terror/war, and five rounds of elections gave birth to Antigone 2023. Sophocles' Antigone unfolds against a backdrop of war and plague, carrying a family tragedy — two brothers who killed each other in a struggle for power. Antigone 2023 exposes power in its total nakedness. It is ugly, unashamed of its ignorance, its racism, its intrigues, its slander. A regime that steals the illusion of everything power is supposed to provide: belonging, security, dignity, and a future. We are alone. The life that came before is gone — there's no point looking for it now. Once again we are refugees of nothing and no one, inside our own home. Antigone 2023 carries with her the brother sentenced to death without burial, and her dead parents Oedipus and Jocasta, living on inside her. They are present at her every step against the regime, embodied by Creon, who decides who deserves burial and who doesn't, who deserves love and who doesn't, who lives and who dies. Today's Antigone is first and foremost a woman, and also an actress, who through theater looks at an impossible reality from the point of view of an Israeli woman. The art comes straight from the gut of its creators/actors. They are pulled out of their characters, questioning, hurting, ironic about the role and the situation they embody. Slowly, the actor blends into the character. Direction, adaptation, and writing: Nava Zuckerman. Set and costume design: Ariel Tal Arbiv. Music: Tal Yaniv (Croptal) and Eyal Shechter.
