ASIPKA, the edgy theatre company whose name means ‘mistake’ in Russian, place love and its power over people at the epicenter of their take on Antigone. Music interacts with theatre to convey the play’s central themes of passion and death, as the composer Blaine Reininger enters into a musical discourse with Greece’s living folk tradition—represented here by Psarantonis, a master of improvisation and the Cretan lyre, and the DIONI ensemble, which sings in the polyphonic idiom of Epirus. The director, Dimitris Bitos, explores the tragedy of love through the dynamic of theatre. How can love today express itself as an act of rebellion against state authority?
