Forces of redemption and reconciliation clash in Sophocles' timeless myth, as the human instinct for love struggles to overcome the human instinct for violence, enmity, and revenge. When a civil war leaves rebels bloody and unburied on the battlefield, Antigone--daughter of the cursed house of Oedipus--must defy her uncle the king, by burying her fallen brother, leader of the defeated faction. Can one young girl, willing to sacrifice everything, face down the power of a state determined to kill her if she does not obey its rigid laws? Francois Rochaix directs.
