The Messengers

Nine exiled Afghan actresses and their director turn Sophocles’ Antigone into a luminous act of defiance, weaving their own flight from tyranny into a fluid chorus that moves between whispered poetry and blazing resolve; on a moon-lit set where shadows ripple across a reflective pool, their shared fervour collides with oppression’s darkness, conjuring a present-tense theatre of resistance performed in Dari (with French subtitles) that pulses with the courage, grace and unbroken spirit of women who refuse to fall silent.

In Dari, with french subtitles.  Ages 14 and up.
