Antigone

My inspiration for this version of Antigone came from a picture of these limestone columns on cliff against a stormy sky. I kind of liked them being at the foot (literally) of this huge statue, which, in my mind, was the Goddess of Justice with her head having fallen off due to the severity of the preceding war.

In a real, dream production, I would love there to be actual rain on stage and a storm in progress throughout the entire show. The storm would have ebbs and flows as it does in nature that would echo the dramatic moments of the play. When Antigone is giving her last lament, there would be the uneasy calm before the storm, and as soon as she is dragged away there would be thunder and lightening and all hell breaking loose.

Basically, I have a trend in my designs of being tied to nature and the environment having a personality that interacts with the drama, as if some mystical higher force is making itself known.

This here be the model...






Shut UP Creon!


And later today you'll get Medea...
