Choreography of Spaces (My name is not Antigone) is Peny Spanous Master's Project in Costume Design and a collaboration with dancer Anu Laiho, performed at Oslo National Academy of the Arts in May 2021.
The walking performance is the result of a series of spatial experiments during the collaboration between Anu Laiho and Peny Spanou. The starting point is Antigone of Sophocles, a work that has created countless discussions and interpretations. Antigone carries the responsibility of the heroine, the strong, the powerful feminist, the rebel. She has become the symbol of many people who find a voice through this character.
But is this the real Antigone?
Or is she something other than what we expect her to be?
How many roles can she carry on her back?
In the performance the audience is prepared to meet three different versions of Antigone. Or maybe none of them.
