Gambaro recasts Antigone as a dissociated figure reliving her defiance of Creon while two men mock and reenact the story around her. Their performance implicates the spectators in the punishment of dissent and evokes Argentina’s government terror and disappearances.
A guide leads audience groups through a large house, where they encounter twenty scenes ranging from staged episodes to seemingly private unfinished moments. The promenade piece implicates spectators in observing the lives of Argentina’s disappeared and questions how audiences respond to authority and performance.
In an Argentine concentration camp disguised as a corporation, new accountant Martin encounters Frank, who wears a Gestapo uniform, and Emma, who imagines her prison smock as a ball gown; after Martin leaves with her, an Official and nurses arrive at his home to brand him.
