Antigone Reimagined
@ Poetry Foundation
61 W Superior St Chicago, IL 60654
Opening Thursday, May 8th, from 6PM - 7PM
In 2024, Court Theatre’s visionary production of Antigone, which was sponsored by the Poetry Foundation, recharged Sophocles’ timeless tale of civil disobedience. Danielle Davis and Cage Sebastian Pierre took on the role of chorus poets, reimagining Sophocles’ classical choral odes as spoken word, body percussion, and melodic ballads. They will present their original mixtape, Songs from the Poets, followed by a talkback with Antigone director Gabrielle Randle-Bent.
This event is part of the Poetry Foundation’s spring 2025 season, Power Lines.
