In this production of Antigone, I explored the inner worlds of the characters through layered soundscapes. The Radiohead song“Everything in Its Right Place”served as a thematic backbone throughout the sound design. 

For Antigone’s dance scene, I introduced an overproduced electronic version of“Unholy”by Sam Smith and“You Should See Me in a Crown”by Billie Eilish.
