Antigone

Short piece for an adult audience, 13 years +

 

This year, Mouse performs Antigone, Jean Anouilh’s masterpiece. And once again, she uses the opportunity to try to get rid of Cat, whom she asks to play the role of Antigone’s brother, Polynices. Carl Béchard will have to get involved in an attempt to bring some kind of order to this zany performance of a tragedy where a young, passionate heroine has an appointment with death.

Performed in French.
