The Greek myth is rendered in LEIMAY’s performance to reflect upon the experience of absence, as with families and friends of los Desaparecidos, the ‘Disappeared Ones,’ of Colombia’s political upheavals. LEIMAY’s Antigones contribute to face the conflict between the law and conscience. Antigone takes a stand, sacrificing her life to be buried alive.

“Antigone is a wandering shadow: like the woman spirit who never received the stiff bodies of her dead. Antigone is without rest, tormented and overshadowed by the vacuum of absence, the presence of those who are no longer there; she is a reproach to society, inciting the State and its cruel laws, and to all those for whom passivity assumes the current arbitrary terror of the war.”

Antigones is an act of remembering, gathering force in silence: a body condition, which apprehends all that has perished, multifaceted and difficult to decipher.

The work is a collaboration among choreographer/dancer Ximena Garnica, video artist Shige Moriya, guest director Juan Merchan and sound artist Roland Toledo.
