In this episode, we discuss Sophocles’ Antigone, from classical Athens to 21st-century Mexico. Dr. Andrés Carrete (Center for Hellenic Studies, Harvard University) joins Naomi to explore different frameworks, ancient and modern, for understanding this incredibly influential play. Then they talk to two Mexican playwrights, David Gaitán and Perla de la Rosa, who have both produced their own versions of Antigone as forms of political theater.
