Title
Reimagining a Classic: Reflections on Antigone (not quite/quiet) [2019]
Description
This special issue focuses on a production, Antigone (not quite/quiet), created and staged at the Baxter Theatre, in Cape Town, in 2019. The production was one of a number of similar productions created as part of the project: Reimagining Tragedy from Africa and the Global South (ReTAGS), funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation between 2019 and 2023. ReTAGS is a project that proposes to take a concept – tragedy – from the very beginnings of theatre in its European manifestation and therefore of the discipline of Theatre Studies which is decidedly European, and to reimagine it from a perspective in Africa that is at once directed at the complex challenges of our global postcolonial present and towards our possible futures both inside and outside of the theatre.
