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.
