Excerpt about Antigone Update by Gluklya from the exhibition’s catalogue:
“After reading several versions of Antigone, I was inspired mostly by Bonnie Honig’s Antigone Interrupted, who interestingly speculates around the topic of the double burial and the role of Ismene, Antigone’s sister. In my script, I dramatised the preposition that the sisters did the heroic deed together, highlighting the topic of a sororal politics, feminist sisterhood and the problems with self-organisation among women. The doubt of the sentry is emphasised in the performance by splitting the character between the singing dress on the stage and a live performance by Shepherd Camara. The general structure of Antigone Update remains from the classic tragedy, but with a twist of protagonists who sing from the stage and a chorus who speaks from our times. The chorus consists of Matras Platform members: Marianne Koeman, Natalia Grezina, Shepherd Camara, Anna Bitkina, Elena Melkumova and Liah Frank.”
