Antigone Web, written and performed by Francesca Brizzolara, brings to the stage a reinterpretation of the myth of Antigone inspired by the life of Chelsea Manning. A former military analyst, Manning leaked classified information to Wikileaks, defying laws to follow her conscience and reveal the truth about the Iraq war. The performance delves into Manning's fight for freedom of information and her personal journey, including her identity transition and a life lived on the edge. This intense and contemporary production combines theatre, technology, and civic engagement, tackling universal themes of courage and the search for self-identity.
