Conceived in the wake of Michael Brown Jr.’s murder in 2014, "Antigone in Ferguson" fuses a dramatic reading of Antigone by Sophocles with live choral music.  The performance is the catalyst for panel and audience-driven discussions about racialized and gender violence, social justice, and more.

Translator and Director Bryan Doerries, a Kenyon alum, will present his Theater of War production of "Antigone in Ferguson" by Zoom on Thursday, October 8. This free performance will begin at 7:30 p.m., followed first by a student panel with representatives from each Ohio-Five college, and then by a community discussion. Oberlin alumna Marjolaine Goldsmith '14 is a member of the troupe and will moderate the discussions after the performance. REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Please note: The Zoom link will be sent to all registrants at approximately 5:30 p.m. October 8. Use this link to register for the performance with the password "ohio."
