But is she really so innocent and pure? What if there is a dark side to her? What if Creon, the representative of state power, also has a valuable point to make? And what if both Antigone and Creon are part of a problem that only a popular intervention can confront? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eZizek's rewriting of this classic play confronts these issues in a practical way: not by theorizing about them, but by imagining an \u003ci\u003eAntigone\u003c\/i\u003e in which, at a crucial moment, the action takes a different turn, an \u003ci\u003eAntigone\u003c\/i\u003e along the lines of \u003ci\u003eRun, Lola, Run\u003c\/i\u003e or of Brecht's learning plays. A brilliantly funny, moving and political piece for those who are interested in reading and watching \u003ci\u003eAntigone\u003c\/i\u003e in an entirely new way.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlavoj Zizek\u003c\/b\u003e is a Hegelian philosopher, a Lacanian psychoanalyst, and a Communist.
