Synopsis: An investigation on the body as a form of art, expression and identity, creating a contemporary portrait of the possibilities of the body. We closely follow the character’s journey, in a kind of subjective diary written on the skin, she registers sensations and reflections, seeking to find and understand her language, as well as that of other performance artists, who lead us to other bodies and other stories. The multiple bodies that make up the documentary are political bodies that create and propose new universes, signaling new ways of being in the world, translating contemporary society in all its complexity.

Taking Sophocles’ “Antigone” as its starting point, “Antígônadá” deals with the contemporary political situation, exploring the revolutionary aspect of the main character, a woman who defies the established social order.
