“Antigone – Suite No. 5” is a performance on the theme of identity and the process of individuation of the human being inspired by the tragedy of Antigone. It is an unprecedented remodeling of a pre-existing project that took the form of a real theatrical performance. The performance, part of the poetics of Seme Cura Territorio, has a strongly performative character – an essential dramaturgy centered on the body and a strongly site-specific and itinerant character: it is a double performance between actor and audience, a journey from the inside in contact with the creative matter, whose scene is built from time to time from the landscape that is encountered.

Antigone chooses to make this gesture for herself and for all. She consciously takes an uncomfortable and difficult path through the forbidden action, as powerful as it is useless: burying her brother.
She thus sets in motion the irreversible mechanism typical of tragedy: she fulfills her destiny, which leads her to death and, paradoxically, thus also to birth – the moment when she can finally be herself and find her land.
That is why her character never ceases to question us. Choice remains, for better or worse, the only true action that determines being in its becoming and allows for change, albeit extreme, of the self and the collective.

Over the past ten years, various artists have documented the different stages of research, creation and staging of the Antigone project.
Among the most significant encounters: Irene Pepe, a photographer from Turin who created the exhibition The Body of Antigone during the Turin Fringe Festival in 2013 and permanently present at Spazio Slip in Turin and on the digital platform Behance, and Andrea Bertolin Kirill who followed one of the key research steps in nature in 2022
