Using an ancient Greek tragedy to face trauma in Ferguson?
Clip: 9/23/2016 | 9m 52s
A play that speaks to Ferguson’s tragedy and lets the audience speak back.
In the Greek tragedy “Antigone,” the title character is told that she cannot bury her brother, who has been killed. Echoes of the classical work rang out in 2014, when Michael Brown was shot by police and left dead in the street for hours. New York-based group Outside the Wire presents “Antigone in Ferguson,” a pertinent take on Sophocles that’s encouraging discussion. Jeffrey Brown reports.
