Ianthe Demos is the artistic director of the One Year Lease Theater Company, an ensemble-based experimental theater in New York. She is directing the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club’s production of Anne Carson’s “Antigonick,” which debuted on Friday and will be being performed through this Sunday.

The Harvard Crimson: How is this production different from ones you’ve done before?

Ianthe Demos: It’s a take on an ancient Greek tragedy that’s not only untraditional…. She [Anne Carson] takes an ancient Greek tragedy and comments on it in a very modern, a very Anne Carson way—it deviates, it goes into poetics, it goes into Hegel, it goes into Beckett, and it goes into, I think, something very personal for her and her understanding of the story of “Antigone.” And as such, it’s as if you were in Anne Carson’s head when reading “Antigone”…. I think it’s one of those unproduceable plays.
