Traces of Antigone is an overpainting of Antigone’s ancient myth, which explores themes such as gender violence and gender construction. It evolved in response to the global lockdown during the covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing dialogue about presence (and absence). For the first time in recent history, isolation is no longer a purely feminine condition. ODC Ensemble presents a circle of women who are using an entirely new performative language, in real as well as virtual spaces, referred to as, “the theatre of isolation”.
