A.N.T.Í.G.O.N.A

## **Ainda Não Temos Imagens de Guerra Onde Nasça o Amor.** ** A.N.T.Í.G.O.N.A ** was created out of the traces left by the many and various texts written around Antigone (rewritings, essays, approximations). This polysemic approach, reinforced by the creative support of a multidisciplinary team of artists, lies at the base of the Teatro Experimental do Porto’s new perspective on Sophocles’ play. At a time when such concepts as democracy, citizenship, justice and human rights are making an urgent comeback to the order of the day, this universal story is ripe for a revival. And, while our empathy with Antigone is quite unanimous, such unanimity can seem strange, when history shows that we have often opted to side with Creon. The polysemy of A.N.T.Í.G.O.N.A provides a broad canvas for the exploration of these themes, thus “plucking up courage and renewing empathy”. This rescueturgy , staged by **Gonçalo Amorim**, tells the story of A.N.T.Í.G.O.N.A, the multidisciplinary collective of activists that managed to put an end to capitalism.
