Tai Shani, M.I.A.S.M.A. The 12 Choruses for Antigone
Lafayette Anticipations9 rue du Platre 75004 PARIS This listening session features a new sound piece by artist Tai Shani. A chorus of twelve singers brings to life a text penned by Shani and scored by Aga Ujma.
Shani revisits the story of Antigone, a figure of rebellion guided by a deep moral conviction and by her love for her brother Polynices, who has been denied a proper burial.
The myth of Antigone is here reinterpreted through a necropolitical lens, revealing the violence and current systems of power that determine which lives may be protected and which are bound to die. In the face of environmental disasters, genocides, and the inequalities produced by global capitalism, Antigone’s revolutionary spirit carries a message of resistance and radical love.
In M.I.A.S.M.A. The 12 Choruses for Antigone, Shani transforms this narrative into a collective meditation on violence, mourning, and solidarity, driven by the desire to act otherwise.
