Beth Piatote’s Antíkoni is a bold and urgent re-imagining of Sophocles’ Antigone, framed through a Native American perspective and set within a museum filled with Indigenous belongings. In a near-future world where Nationalists have seized power, a Nez Perce family is caught between the demands of modern survival and the sacred traditions they are determined to uphold. At the heart of the conflict is Kreon, a Native museum curator who complies with the new regime to protect his position, and Antikoni, who refuses to let go of her people’s truth—risking everything to honor what is sacred. This co-production with Native Theater Project is an investigation of resistance, ethical duty, and the enduring struggle to protect history, identity, and sovereignty.

Antíkoni is a Co-Production between Native Performing Arts Network (Formerly known as Native Theater Project) and Bag&Baggage
