"Musically striking..."
—Jim Burke @FunhouseTheatre
Joseph Browne and Evan Stepanian composed, directed and performed original music for 14 voices to the chorus of a new translation of Sophocles' ancient play Antigone.

After the Theban civil war, where the sons of Oedipus have died fighting each other for the throne, King Kreon decides to honour one of the brothers with burial rites and leave the other to rot on the battle field, unmourned. Antigone, their surviving sister, challenges Kreon’s edict, claiming she follows the gods whose authority is beyond the state’s rule. A contest of wills ensues between Kreon and Antigone as they fight over what to do with the body of the fallen brother who attacked the city. Their conflict is also one between generations, between rule of law and civil disobedience, between man and woman, young and old, the state and the individual and religious and political extremism.
