Antíkoni
Written by Beth Piatote
Directed by Jeanette Harrison
“A stunning new Native American interpretation of the ancient Greek play.” –
People’s World
Nez Perce stories are the heart of this bold reimagining of Sophocles’
Antigone
— showing how power distorts while offering ways to overcome.
Set within a museum filled with Indigenous belongings, in a yet-unknown world after Nationalists have seized power, a Nez Perce family is caught between the demands of modern survival and the sacred traditions they are determined to uphold.
At the center of the conflict is Kreon, a Native museum curator who complies with the new regime to protect his position, and Antíkoni, who refuses to let go of her people’s truth—risking everything to honor what is sacred.
This co-production with Bag&Baggage Productions is an investigation of resistance, ethical duty, and the enduring struggle to protect history, identity, and sovereignty.
