Discussion Board #3: Gambaro, Antígona Furiosa & Discussion Board #4: “Staging the Past

Description

Discussion Board #3: Gambaro, Antígona Furiosa:  Please write a post that explains why Gambaro has her Antígona say: “I will always want to bury Polyneices” (p. 158). Will every Antigone (Sophocles’ Antigone? Gambaro’s Antígona?) “always” want to bury her brother for the same reasons and in the same way? Please cite at least EITHER 2 differences or 2 SIMILARITIES between Sophocles’ and Gambaro’s play to explain whether the issues at stake in the plays are always the same or always different. If it is useful, use this post to discuss whether a “classic” will always mean the same thing.(150 words maximum) Discussion Board #4: “Staging the Past: Watch enough of the 2012 production of the Antígona Furiosa directed by Florencia Ayos, at the Escuela Metropolitana de Arte Dramatico (EMAD) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to get a sense for its staging. Whether or not you are able to understand the Spanish, the visual elements are an integral part of the work. Describe at least one specific moment of the 2012 staging of Gambaro’s play. Comment on how the staging / props / costumes on which you are focusing: 1. recall a specific part of Sophocles’ Antigone (with page references), but 2. create a different kind of afterlife for it in the context of Argentina’s “Dirty War.” (150 words maximum) Watch these videos before writing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maAXpVd-98k&t=712s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpdWrjcz-6k&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNJwrbpfq-A&t=1s
