«Antigone» is the play by Jean Cocteau published alongside «Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel» in a Folio paperback volume, in French.
The volume brings together two plays by Jean Cocteau: his version of «Antigone», Sophocles' tragedy about the young woman who defies King Creon to bury her brother, and «Les Mariés de la Tour Eiffel», a farce in which a bourgeois wedding poses at the Eiffel Tower while two phonographs comment on the action.
The work was originally published in 1922; this French edition is from 1977, in Gallimard's Folio collection, with 128 pages.
For readers interested in theatre, French literature and twentieth-century classics.
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, film director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost avant-garde artists of the 20th century and highly influential on the Surrealist and Dadaist movements, among others. The National Observer suggested that "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man".
