Written by Yiwei Will Lu and directed by Dejing Eloise Wong, ‘Anti-Gone’ (俺抬杠?!) at the Lime Studio, Greenside, reimagines Greek tragedy within the setting of a rural Northern Chinese village during the 1980s. Just like many retellings of Antigone, this version has the dead who will not rest, the living who will not stop quarrelling, and spirits who insist on taking part. The play unfolds entirely within the chaos of a funeral, blending humour, family issues, and a daydreaming child emperor.
