Antigone - A Tremendous Performance by students
The play is starring the actress Mayan Al-Sayed, as it is her graduation project from the American University, and the artist Hana Dawood and the artist Muhammad Amr Al-Laithi, son of the journalist Amr Al-Laithi, participate in the play. The powerful "Antigone", is trying to obtain her family's rights, and when she asks for help from her sister, she abandons her.
Calm, balanced, and charged with details in all of its moments, Antigone is directed by Dr. Dina Amin. sharp and harsh kinetic formations that resemble their owners, whether they are sharp in their straightness or triangular, that hurl the audience like arrows aimed at them. moments of expressive tension of the issue at hand, and a translation that adheres to Sophocles’ text “Antigone”, where the conflict of divine justice represented by Antigone remains. As opposed to the man-made laws maintained by the state and represented by “Creon”; there is no victor in this struggle; everyone loses. However, the show crystallizes without rhetoric or directness about who insists on pursuing the loss, triumphant of the laws of the deaf country and what he arrogantly believes is right in exchange for the rupture of family cohesion as the main nucleus of society as a whole.
The music was initiated by incredible singers and made a huge impact on play. The combination of musical instruments by mixing them with the human voice created an acoustic state that tends to mourn and lament the reality of the dramatic text.
The atmosphere of war dominates the worlds of the show's characters, although we do not see this war or any moment of violence; All of this happened outside the space of the stage, but we see its reflection through the faces and words of Antigone and her sister Ismene, and the chorus of village women.
