TIMETABLES : at 8:30 pm - PLACE : 145 Theatre

An afternoon in May 1980. A group of young people from a catholic high-school are rehearsing " Antigone " under the direction of their Greek and Latin teacher. A stranger comes in and asks to watch them work. He’s a Red Brigade terrorist. Little by little, he takes over the director’s role and eventually takes the group hostage to make them play “Antigone” the way he sees it : a confrontation between a terrorist and power. The tension between the teacher and the terrorist intensifies. The latter kills the teacher and commits suicide. Later, the young people gather and share what they lived through during that long afternoon.
