present

moments after aias

Directed and written by Andrew Watkins

A decade of war is coming to a close. A soldier is dead. Devastated by the loss of his closest friend and betrayed by his commanding officers, he also committed an act of unspeakable violence. Now those left behind face a series of collective questions: What was his life worth? What do they owe him? Where does responsibility lie?

moments after Aias is a free adaptation of Sophocles that combines classical and contemporary found-voices. It asks how a community remembers tragedy. And why it is easier to mourn someone than it is to help them.
