A contemporary Antigone challenges her past, re-examining her own story of sacrifice through the kaleidoscopic frenzy of a fever dream. Through video projection, live music, and Balinese dance-inspired staging, FIRE THROWS explodes the themes within this classic story to produce a cutting-edge meditation on desire, drive, and what’s at stake in breaking the rules.

February 18 - March 28, 2009 at 3LD Art & Technology Center

Created in collaboration with the ensemble: Erica Berg, Laura Butler, Kiebpoli Calnek, John Campion, Kimiye Corwin, Juliana Francis-Kelly, Kyle Leland, Paula McGonagle, Leajato Robinson, Jorge Rubio, and Caesar Samayoa.
