MILITARY GLAMOUR \u2013 ANTIGONE 2018<\/h5>\n
This performance modelled on the Greek tragedy is also a meeting. We tease out the individual\u2019s dilemma in the fray of 2,500-year-old fratricidal conflicts, and a chorus of young people from Warsaw and Orzysz (the military capital of Poland), together with young, political Americans from the event of the year. While Polish eighteen-year-olds have the right to vote, their American peers can bear arms (they can vote only when they reach twenty-one). Coryphaeus (Weronika Nockowska) leads the chorus, and also appears as Antigone and Ismene.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
Women in Ancient Greece had no voice in social life, though they did on stage (through male actors). Women often had the final word in dramas.<\/h5>\n
Antigone\/Ismene recognizes the evil all too well, but cannot be sure of the most effective way to counteract it. In trusting the roles of Oedipus\u2019 daughters to a single actress, Katarzyna Wi\u0144ska reduces the conflict between two standpoints \u2013 active and passive resistance to evil \u2013 to the human heart. She shows human nature to be complex and challenging, though this does not temper dissent and rebellion against evil. A choice proves essential. This necessity is the point of departure for a discussion on contemporary life in a divided world, a society, a family, a world that matches one\u2019s convictions.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
What role is left for theater? After the success of Antigone, Sophocles was chosen the strategist! Following the shoot-out in the school in Florida, young people from a local theater group were the first to organize #NeverAgain protests.<\/h5>\n
In Sophocles\u2019 day, people better understood the need for theater and poetry than they did the need for war. How do things stand today? Can we be sure that theater was and is a platform to discuss things that matter?\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Alaina (18) & Telemachus (22) in memoriam<\/p>\n

Everyday we stay in places that are relatively soft-targets. Anywhere across the country.<\/p>\n

Whether it is a place of worship, bars, schools, theaters. This calls for all of us ;<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>to have a plan in the back of my mind; that we know where the exits are. Where is my way out. How quickly can I find a place to hide, get small. This cries for all of us.<\/p>\n

Who brings hate \u2013 the Congress must do something about it.<\/p>\n

Back in the 50s elementary school kids would duck for cover; when a nuclear attack comes – get under your desks. Now they are under the desk for different purpose. It is very concerning.<\/p>\n

We have a gun problem. That has to be fixed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest dance-floor in town.<\/p>\n

You would think that we had already suffered enough<\/p>\n

I cannot imagine any grief<\/p>\n

That you and I have not gone through<\/p>\n

Scarcely now I had my lips set free<\/p>\n

We were dancing and we saw someone walk in and I heard shots and I don\u2019t even\u00a0know what was happening. We got down and we tried to get everybody out<\/p>\n

Everyone dropped to the ground pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

I have God on my side. We must move forward, be there and help people go through it.<\/p>\n

\u201eJ<\/p>\n

Hush!-no such word! \u2013 Thou hast no right to lament<\/p>\n

I pray to God, nobody tells me, he is praying for us.<\/p>\n

My son Telemachus made it though last year\u2019s harvest festival shooting, he came home.<\/p>\n

And he didn\u2019t come home last night, and the two words I want you to write are: gun control.<\/p>\n

Right now – so no one else goes through this. Can do you that for me? I don\u2019t want your prayers.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want thoughts and I hope to God nobody else sends me more prayers. I want gun control. No. More. Guns.<\/p>\n

Our father died, hated and disgraced.<\/p>\n

Now, the two of us are left here alone,<\/p>\n

We must remember that by birth we\u2019re women<\/p>\n

We shouldn\u2019t fight with men<\/p>\n

We must obey in this and in events<\/p>\n

Which bring us even harsher agonies<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ll ask those underground for pardon<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t act against the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not in my nature<\/p>\n

While he lives, no woman shall rule him,<\/p>\n

No man can be fully known, until he hath been seen versed in rule and law-giving.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m texting like crazy. I\u2019ve got a message: Noel is shot.<\/p>\n

If you had children, you wanted him to be one of their friends.<\/p>\n

Everybody hit the ground. He died a hero, shielding others from gunshots.<\/p>\n

Look what\u2019s he doing with our brothers<\/p>\n

Honoring one with a full funeral<\/p>\n

And treating the other one disgracefully!<\/p>\n

Anyone who acts against the order<\/p>\n

Will be stoned to death<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not waste time for words<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an emotional roller-coaster. Every ten minutes I\u2019m from being frustrated to angry to crying. I\u2019m getting a lot of calls. Our place has been like a safest city. It\u2019s been traumatizing.<\/p>\n

I was dancing at the back of the floor. First we thought they were fireworks. It was a weird song we danced to, but when I heard the girls screaming I dropped to the ground and I crawled next to the bar against the wall so I made sure\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t shot from the back. I saw a girl being trampled.<\/p>\n

And I could see in her eyes that she wanted me to help her\u00a0 <\/span>and I could\u2019t move, I was completely frozen. I feel so bad I couldn\u2019t help her.<\/p>\n

Every week we go to this bar to have fun, enjoy the evening listening to music.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to come to this place. Nobody would spoil what I love.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a local spot. I know most of the people<\/p>\n

I thought it was a joke. No logic, no sense.<\/p>\n

These all share it; but they curb their tongues for thee.<\/p>\n

The offense is the same for both of us.<\/p>\n

He moved to his father\u2019s home three weeks ago.He wanted to join the military.<\/p>\n

First thing I said before he left for the bar, was \u201eplease don\u2019t drink and drive.\u201d Last thing I said was, \u201eSon, I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

She invited us to her 18th birthday. We had a good time. We were dancing a line dance.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if she is alive.<\/p>\n

She sang in the choir, played the cello and danced.<\/p>\n

We are looking for our friends<\/p>\n

He pulled a gun, I saw fire. I crawled to the side door. I got to my car. I stopped for 5 people. One girl had a broken hand. I dropped her at the hospital<\/p>\n

We dropped to the floor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We just tried to get cover in the attic and toilets<\/p>\n

The guy was throwing smoke grenades.<\/p>\n

Smoke all over the place.<\/p>\n

So much smoke. I didn\u2019t see his face.<\/p>\n

I found a fire-escape. I ran.<\/p>\n

When he reloaded some people knocked down the windows with stools and run out through the windows.<\/p>\n

Not all of our friends are accounted for. A couple are still missing.<\/p>\n

The telephone just rings and rings. I\u2019ve got a tracking application \u2013 the telephone is there<\/p>\n

-unfortunately it\u2019s not moving. Perhaps he lost it while running<\/p>\n

When we wre younger, I was an awkward kid. I got picked on. And he was my protector.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He stood up for me.<\/p>\n

I glanced back, there was this tall man shooting. We dove to the floor<\/p>\n

He came in, pulled the gun and started shooting. Everybody got down to the floor.<\/p>\n

He shouted \u201erun everybody\u201d. I was trampled by people<\/p>\n

In a second we dropped to the floor<\/p>\n

We were crawling on the floor to the exit.<\/p>\n

I was hit on the head by a stool thrown at the window. I was grabbed from behind and this guy helped me out.<\/p>\n

I went to the bar with 11 friends. So far we found only six of them.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know where they are<\/p>\n

Four guys pulled out a bleeding friend and carried him to the ambulance.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I looked up; the security man shot. When a security guard dropped<\/p>\n

He had a beard, black hat and black jacket, I think he had glasses on, like prescription<\/p>\n

glasses<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been in a military family all my life. I know guns. I shoot them, I clean them.<\/p>\n

He looked as if he knew what he was doing. It looked as a semi-automatic pistol.<\/p>\n

It looked like it was a \u201e40\u201d But I only had a glance at it.<\/p>\n

I tripped twice. I fell. People below me. People on top of me. I couldn\u2019t see anything.<\/p>\n

We dropped to the ground.We shielded the girls<\/p>\n

It was semi-automatic. I\u2019ve just heard 18 to 20 rounds at a time<\/p>\n

She was a beautiful dancer.<\/p>\n

I was next to the exit to the patio where people smoke. There were a bunch of people there who had no idea that anything was going on, because they were way from the noise<\/p>\n

I saw a tall dark figure pointing the hand-gun towards the workers working there and started firing. My instinct kicked in. We dropped down and hid under a table until I heard first round ceased so we knew he run ot of bullets we broke the windows with stools to create an exit\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We helped the others to get out; people as young as 18 and women. These people<\/p>\n

That are with us are our family, our neighbors. We grew up with them<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure he was shielding others. This is how he is. He went to the bar with his girlfriends.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s normal. We did what we should do to help others to get out of there<\/p>\n

We ere doing what we were supposed to do.<\/p>\n

He reloaded several times<\/p>\n

I was born on a farm. This country club was a first place I had a feeling of normality of sorts<\/p>\n

It actually happened to me. A pattern what to do; drop everything you are holding, whatever you are doing and you take cover, you get out, you get safe<\/p>\n

A bad thing causes so much good we have a circle of friends out there \u2013 it\u2019s beautiful.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t take the place away from us.<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t deprive us of joy.<\/p>\n

FINALE: Antigone and choir<\/p>\n

Tis not my nature to join in hating, but in loving.<\/p>\n

Where are thy wits? Hast thou no care for thy present life?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s too dark to learn about me<\/p>\n

I could be everything<\/p>\n

When my strength gives out, I shall do no more.<\/p>\n

Impossible things should not be tried at all.<\/p>\n

But sometimes justice is fraught with harm<\/p>\n

And if my present deeds are foolish in thy sight,<\/p>\n

It may be a foolish judge arraigns my folly.<\/p>\n

Be of good cheer\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I admire thy prudence; thy cowardice I hate<\/p>\n

Do not teach me to betray my friends, nor to bend before the strong<\/p>\n

I may fly as far as may be from you all<\/p>\n

Thine be such flattery: those are not my ways<\/p>\n

The offense is the same for both of us.<\/p>\n

Time enough in the future to decide that<\/p>\n

One world approved thy wisdom; another, mine<\/p>\n

I hope people call me insane. Wouldn\u2019t that be a big ball of irony? Yeah\u2026I\u2019m insane, but the only thing you people do \u2026is \u201ehopes and prayers\u201d..or \u201ekeep you in my thoughts\u201d..every time\u2026 and wonder why these shootings keep happening\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are going to put me in the asylum, so nobody would think of calling me a hero.<\/p>\n
