What contemporary city contains the turmoil of Sophocles' Thebes? Antigone Millennium lets New York play itself and be read by the viewer in a context of social uprising - Occupy Wall Street movement - through the very old story of Antigone's revolt. 'For millennia, now, we have stood sentinel: hoping to see her-to catch her in the act, to say plainly and clearly what Antigone is about. Yet no vigilance could be adequate to the task. History offers a long succession of separate, disconnected experiences of Antigone-impossible to gather together into a single completed shape.' Carol Jacobs, Dusting Antigone, 1996
