Antigone X (Streamed Performances)
December 4–14, 2025
Summary
Antigone X by SDA Professor Paula Cizmar reimagines Sophocles’ tragedy for our troubled times, exploring how bonds of kinship and shared humanity endure–or fracture–under the pressure of displacement and authoritarian rule. Set in a landscape of refugee camps and social upheaval, this powerful adaptation asks who will dare to defy unjust laws and follow the higher call of love and decency.
