Jean Anouilh's modernized version of the classic Greek tragedy Antigone sets the story in the sleek palace of a fascist state ruled by Creon. His niece Antigone is horrified by Creon's order that the body of her brother, who led a rebellion against the state, be left on the battlefield to rot. The great strength of Antigone is that there is no easy solution to the conflict, which leads to disaster for everyone involved. With fierce originality, this powerful adaptation of the Sophocles tragedy presents a world of honor, treachery and fateful consequences.

Scratch & Burn is a combination of dance elements from ancient Zulu, Maori, and butoh rituals with movements from hip-hop and urban street combat to create a powerful, gripping and immensely entertaining dance theater work about our primal urge to battle for supremacy and domination. With live African drumming, a megaton soundtrack and dramatic effects with lighting, props, costumes and video projection, five male dancers assume various roles and rarely leave the stage, concluding the show with a display of break dancing that leaves the audience gasping. Scratch & Burn is fast and furious, forceful and athletic, delivering a searing critique of war, violence, racial stereotypes, the Bush administration and U.S. imperialism.
Please note: This performance will be held at Rhode Island College's Robert's Hall NOT at Perishable Theatre.
