Sydney Arts Guide (AUS) ★★★★★ - "'Antigone in the Amazon' is a superb work of contemporary multiform theatre" (review)
Antigone in de Amazone | 9 January 2025
"The embodiment of a raw tragedy in sophisticated multilayered narrative focused on cutting edge video – in – theatre works to engage, move and see vividly – all the thing Brecht did not seek. There is argument but it is rhetorically and plausibly made, seeking truth positively. Truth about big theme, of national identity, environment, indigeneity and humanity – perhaps we need a new term, “metaphysics”, for theatre bold enough to take on big themes. The script (Milo Rau and ensemble) is finely wrought, perhaps with the allure of the Greek classical text by Sophocles – it is often poetically rendered, given the work an elevation in which to encase any graphic events."
