DESCRIPTION:May 28 - Oct 7\, 2026\nWith so many examples of the State beari
 ng down on the innocent\, the conscience-driven\, and the undefended\, it
 ’s no wonder that productions of Antigone are proliferating. But few giv
 e pride of place to dance\, as Alan Lucien Øyen has done. Not that he ign
 ores the script: ever since the Norwegian polymath assembled his Oslo trou
 pe Winter Guests\, two decades ago\, he has worked closely with the same w
 riter\, Andrew Wale\, to guarantee the words not be an afterthought\, as o
 ften happens in dance. For Antigone\, three voluble and indelible Pina Bau
 sch veterans join Winter Guests. Øyen shares the late German master’s s
 umptuous and arresting visual imagination\, yet\, as befits the stark ethi
 cs of Sophocles\, he is more serious in his concerns (if occasionally impu
 dent in their delivery). Premiered in Rome in 2025\, his 135-minute interm
 issionless Antigone makes the rounds this summer and fall. But it’s the 
 production’s spell at the ancient amphitheater in Epidaurus this August\
 , as part of the huge\, annual Athens Epidaurus Festival\, that promises t
 o complete the work. The audience fans out like witnesses—or judges—ar
 ound the nucleus of the stage\, where Antigone makes her case and ends her
  life.
