Antigone Power from Palermo

  • Free
  • Talk

Attend the launch of 'Antigone Power da Palermo: Trasformazioni per l’epoca globale', a book that traces how the 2018 Palermo Project reimagines Antigone today.

The launch includes a short panel discussion, readings, and a live excerpt that highlights the book’s focus on contemporary feminist and transcultural performance. Attendees will gain firsthand insights into the book’s interdisciplinary methods and discuss the implications of its practice‑based approaches and community engagement. The event aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on how situated theatre practice can produce transferrable cultural and artistic paradigms in the global age.

Antigone Power da Palermo. Female Agency, Transcultural Practices and Performance, by Laura Lori. With attendees Laura Lori, Gregoria Manzin, Jackie Dutton, and Cynthia Troup

This is an Italian and English bilingual event.
