Antigone
by Sophocles, with excerpts from “Sister Of” by Lot Vekemans
Zurich University of the Arts, 2016
“No, we were not a harmonious family.
My whole family.
A bunch of crazy people.
Father stabbed his own eyes out.
Mother personally hanged herself from a rope.
And my brothers pierced each other's hearts
for that stupid throne.
Everyone I loved even a little.
Everyone with whom I felt even the slightest connection.
Was killed because they had to act.
Or killed themselves because they couldn't help it. All for ideals.
Or justice.
A strange word: justice.”
(Lot Vekemans, “Sister Of”)
