Antigonón by Rogelio Orizondo

This epic work, Antigonón by Rogelio Orizondo, directed by Carlos Díaz, departs from the myth of Antigone to fuse with old and new heroes of Cuban history. All these myths, and particularly the myth of renowned poet José Martí, considered the founder of Cuban revolutionary thought, join in the Greek tragic chorus to serve up a remix of frustrations and demands placed upon the bodies of the performers. Between derision and poetry, between travesty and reality, the spectacle becomes the mirror of a society that maintains a strained relationship with the past and its own history.
