Inspired by the classic play by Sophocles, Antigone in Spring takes us to a fictional Qu???bec where dead birds fall from the sky, covering highways, rooftops, and parks. The citizens demand an explanation, but the answer never comes; the government, led by the autocratic Creon, refuses to tell the truth. A revolution is brewing, however, and the population's youth and their supporters, inflamed by the unprecedented ecological disaster, are calling for freedom. Amid this upheaval, Antigone and her brothers, Polynices and Eteocles, narrate their tale. Born into a happy family that flees to their cottage in Rivi???re-???ternit??? every summer, they lived in the certainty that the world was a safe place of warmth and honesty. But when they accidentally learn the truth - that their mother Jocasta is married to her own son, Oedipus, who is both their father and their brother - everything falls apart, and the three siblings are caught up in the revolution sweeping through the city. Written in free verse and fuelled by the courage and integrity of the protesters during the student demonstrations that rocked the streets of Montr???al in 2012, Antigone in Spring is an ode to all the revolutions whose stories remain untold.
