CIPN - 6 June 2016 - Staging radical disobedience: Antigone’s revolt, from Brecht to the 1960s and beyond

A half-day workshop: 'Antigone's Revolt and the Performance of Protest': Staging radical disobedience, from Brecht to the 1960s and beyond.Co-organised by Freddie Rokem (founding member, Performance Philosophy Network), Annalisa Sacchi (Principal Investigator, ERC-funded INCOMMON: Art and Politics in Italy 1959-79) and Clare Foster (British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellow, UCL).Engagements with the Antigone across Europe and the US helped articulate a gradual revolt against the silence, repression and denial which followed the Second World War, re-emerging in the political crises and protests of 1968. How might this history illuminate the politics of protest more widely? And how does it continue to inform and influence us today?
