Original id: 1742
Start date: 1 January 1967
End date: 31 December 1969
Degree of relationship to ancient play: Adaptation
Production notes:
In 1967 Brecht's adaptation of Antigone was in turn adapted by Judith Malina, co-founder of the experimental Living Theatre in New York, while she was in prison for political protest. Malina replaced Brecht's naturalistic prologue with a dance composition representing the battle between Thebes and Argos. The actors of the Chorus chanted and droned before dividing into antagonistic groups and circling each other in ritualistic dance. In a political gesture designed to provoke comparisons with the contemporary Vietnam War, the audience of Malina's Antigone was forced to enter the dramatic action, functioning as members of the Argive army that was attacking Thebes.
Media of production: Stage-play

A bit rough round the edges, but quite amazing never the less. Reminds me of what Grotowski did in Poland back in the 70's. Wish people now'a days payed so much attention to the voicing of their plays. Purely at the sound level this is no less then a spoken opera. And the actions are pretty good too. They are well prepared. You don't see actors so devoted to their craft these days. Beck especially, his movements are so fluent, pure pleasure to watch him. The young people are all so very well in tune. I'm not especially fond of Becketts take on Antigone, but this is quite an experience, even from a low res video recording. Like with good music, the power is in the magnificent composition and performance.
This is not a performance from the 1960´s. The play was restaged by the Living Theatre in 1979 and this film is taken from a performance in February 1980, Bari/Italy. I know this well, because I´m in it.
CHRISTIAN VOLLMER This is a new piece of info and I am thankful for it. However I only publish content on my channel by cross-verifying from trusted sources. Please know you will help me immensely by sending more proof. Here: speak2lata@gmaildotcom. I should be able to edit the info. Warmest
I sent you the requested informations already weeks ago by email. But no matter if you accept it or not, fact is that this is a performance form 1980, and I am one of the actors on stage. You can also read my name at the end.
Those jeans are from 1980. They did not have that style in the late 60's.
Please, if anyone have more information about this production, can you share with me please? (I'm a student and working on analizing this amazing production)
Hi Christian. Can you tell me who directed this, please? Any recollections of what the director's intentions were with this production? Thanks so much.
What a treat. Thank you!
My god, this is incredible. I learned something new about Sophocles, about Bertolt Brecht, and about being a hippie in NYC in 1968!
What is wonderful that across the globe when I hear someone talk like a student, must the feeling is mutual. Keep visiting. I'm about to upload similar stuff. Thankyou for dropping by!
Great
Thanks for sharing
this is from a show in italy of around 79-80 by the way
This is from 1980, i was there.
As in you performed? Or watched when it happened? 😇😇
@@latassingh I give you a proof. Look at 0:35 it says "Regia Televisiva (TV direction) Gigi (Luigi Spedicato)". Luigi Spedicato was born in 1953 and worked for Rai since 1979 to 1985. In 1967 he was 14 years old.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 Thank you for the info! Great to connect with you ❤❤
@@latassingh perhaps you want to correct the credits after the repeated comments from people with accurate details who were there??
straordinario
Non è un'accusa, sto studiando al Dams e devo vedere questo spettacolo. Ma veramente ti piace sta roba? Cosa trovi di bello?
After almost 3 years since last I watched Signals Through Flames, I've been brought here again to their theatrical production whilst searching for Brecht's Antigone.
Could you please provide subtitles for Italian dialogues in this video?
Would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, I have a huge interest in this movie and other movies about the Living Theatre. How could i possibly get in touch? Thanks in advance!

Dear jaw = meet floor!
It's not politic, only theater with a provocative contains
living theater produced a lot of bullshit. They never care about the play, they only want to go on with their old fashioned student theater style, shouting the text, senseless sounds, If Brecht would have been alive he would have prohibided the use of his play for such a non sense.
You're right. It's still fucking great tho.
Get the f out of here ! It’s fuckin awesome
