Pomegranate SWERVE presents

Pomegranate SWERVE presents Antigone 24x7, a play entirely reimagined by young adult actors and writers!

What has Sophocles' 500 BC tragic heroine, Antigone, been doing during the lockdown? We beam her right down to the present entirely reimagined by young adult actors and writers (17-19 years) who inhabit the lives of characters, some of them no older than themselves in this classical Greek tragedy. Rife with curfews and isolation as the world falls apart around them, they struggle to keep up shards of relationships and ideals. Bringing alive a universal text and setting it right in the middle of a lockdown, these performers shape a new way of theatre that transcends the stage and enters our homes

Produced entirely as a Zoom Play set in the city of Thebes, Antigone 24x7 delves into the motivations of emperor Creon, his son Haemon torn between the love of his life and his father, the daughters of Oedipus determined to protect their family honour and finally Antigone herself, driven by a mission to overcome the odds.

With a hauntingly original music score and an interactive audience experience, Antigone 24/7 is an immersive exploration of the 'virtual' possibilities of theatre.

Directed by Gerish Khemani

This unique online adaptation is by the same cast that adapted and performed the play at NCPA in 2014 and 2016. These teens have literally grown with the play as they adapted it at different points in their growing years and is a unique reflection of their own journeys as young adults

Please Note that this Digital Stream will be followed by a Live Interaction with the Cast and the Director of the play on Zoom

Pomegranate's Antigone is in the Mumbai Theatre Guide's top 10 Theatre picks in 2016!

Show Dates: 3rd & 4th October
Time: 5pm
For Ages 14 years and above
