Creons don’t believe they’re the villain.

They believe they’re preserving order. Protecting the State. Doing what leadership requires of them—even when the people standing in their way are the people closest to them.

ANTIGONE: UNMASKED asks what happens when authority becomes more important than humanity, and what it costs to be the person who refuses to comply.

With ANTIGONE: UNMASKED, Lumen Rep Artistic Director Brian Niece reimagines Sophocles’ ancient tragedy as a new full-length work for our own time.

Written and directed by Brian, this world-premiere production confronts questions of power, truth, loyalty, resistance, and what happens when order is mistaken for justice.
