ANTI-GONE 俺抬杠?!
LIGHTING DESIGNER
In a Northern Chinese village in the 1980s, on the final day of a three-day burial ceremony, the mourning hall becomes a battleground.
Polynikes, the eldest son of the Oedipus family, lies in his casket, but his spirit lingers in the human world. His late brother Eteocles waits to escort him into the afterlife. Meanwhile, their surviving sisters are at odds. Antigone refuses to honor the brother she despises, and Ismene tries to keep her from causing more trouble. At the same time. Polynikes' young children attempt to force their way into the adult world with their own childishly almighty will.
What should have been a solemn funeral spirals into chaos.
Welcome to this sinkhole of a mourning hall.
