Too Late! (antigone) contest # 2

Too Late! (antigone) contest # 2 is a theatre production produced by the Italian company Motus, inspired by the play by Sophocles.

Enrico Casagrande and Daniela Nicolò developed and directed the production in collaboration.

The production is, according to Black Box Teater, "an intense and physical production and a modern spin on the familiar, Greek tragedy examining the dynamics between power and opposition in a dangerous mix of love and violence".

Too Late! (antigone) contest # 2 by Motus uses Antigoneas as its foundation. The audience meets characters entangled in a net of challenges. Together they enforce the power plays between fathers and sons, dictators and servants with an observing glance, directed towards contemporary European politics.

Supported by: Magna Grecia Festival 08, L'Arboreto - Teatro Dimora di Mondaino, Provincia di Rimini, Regione Emilia-Romagna and Ministero della Gioventù - Progetto GECO.

Press coverage

Jason Zinoman, Going Under the Radar, and Into the Unknown, New York Times, January 11 2011:

"For me, the biggest revelation this year is the ferocious Italian company Motus, whose Too Late! (antigone) contest #2 takes a series of well-worn parts (acting school animal exercises, modern spin on a classic text, meta-commentary) and plays them with such abandon and skill that they feel fresh."

Carolyn Raship, Under the Radar: Too Late! (antigone) contest #2 reviewed by Carolyn Raship, New York Theater Review, January 15 2011:

"There are certain rare images that you know will stay with you forever. This was one of them. Motus’ Too Late! was, for me, a completely exhilarating and involving theatrical experience."
