Recreating a classic comes with benefits and costs. Yous become to explore the precious parts that made the fine art classic, and yet, this implies the challenge to live upwardly to the original arts and numerous old creations that interpreted the original piece in different styles. Performing Antigone in the 21st century afterward the original version was written more than than 2000 years ago shares the aforementioned questions. The audience (a lot of them, presumably) know that Antigone is going to dice (Apologies for the spoiler if y'all did not have the chance to come across the original story yet) and they are keener on seeing how the production team had called the old heritage to life in their own creative way instead of knowing what's going to happen to the characters. Antigone performed past the U of Chiliad Department of Theater & Drama had clear stances on what information technology inherited and recreated. I must disclose in advance that this was my only experience of seeing modern recreation of Antigone, so my review lacks any insights from comparing from other works.
The performers managed to bring back the emotions and awe the ancient Greeks felt. All actors placed heavy emphasis on the emotions they were experiencing, the universal emotions like fear, acrimony, incertitude, and sadness. Played with the vigor of immature actors, the fear of the oppressor has of the disobedience of the oppressed and the dignity of denouncement were powerfully demonstrated on stage. They also managed to bring more complicated forms of emotional resonance with the ancient Greeks-the rapid change of voice of Tiresias, very impressively done, combined with a sudden change in the color of the lighting to an abnormal red reminded the fearfulness and awe the aboriginal people had for prophecies, and the dramatic motility of choruses reproduced the grandeur that was a myth was treated with. Energetic however honoring the old story, the team had done a great job in making the former story yet relevant.
The 'new' that the production team wanted to add together to the projection was very clear. Information technology was clearly stated at the very start of the operation. Even before Antigone entered the stage, the chorus marched holding the pictures of women. I was not familiar with who they were, but I could guess from the grave manner that the march was done that they were beingness honored. To consider the theme of Antigone, my guess is that the women in the moving-picture show were the ones who fought for civil rights confronting oppression. Another thing to notice was that a good proportion of the people in the picture were people of color. The performance was expanding the story and the value celebrated in it outside the fiction from aboriginal times: they were stating that people, like Antigone, live upwardly to their nobility, and thus we should accolade them; the challenge and questions Antigone and other characters faced lived on, and suggest that that's why we should bring this into awareness in this time in the theater.
Ane pocket-sized regret was that at that place were parts where it was difficult to embrace what the actors were singing. I recollect it was due to the combined issue of speaking in aboriginal styles and repeat colliding with each other due to the location of my seat under the Mezzanine floor. Still, this was a well-created performance with details I couldn't address here due to length but made the old story trendy again.
