Antigone Puppet

2021

Armed with handmade dolls, an amateur puppeteer tries to ward off fate by offering Antigone the chance to hold the funeral of her brother Polynices. PowerPoint manipulation, Punch-and-Judy theatre and emancipatory dance set the rhythm of the profane ritual of these silent dolls.
