Robben Island, une prison sur une île au large de Cape Town en Afrique du sud où furent incarcérés tant de prisonniers d'opinion et notamment, durant 22 ans, Nelson Mandela. John et Winston y sont enfermés depuis 3 ans. Le premier a été condamné pour 10 ans, l'autre à perpétuité. Le jour, sous un soleil brûlant, ils doivent chacun creuser des trous à la pelle puis reboucher les trous creusés par l'autre. Un travail qui détruit l'âme et l'esprit. Le soir, enchaînés ensemble par les poignets et les chevilles, ils doivent courir ainsi vers leur cellule. Mais courir sur trois jambes, n'est pas chose facile... Alors ils sont battus, ils prient, ils chantent des hymnes et quand finalement ils ont regagné leur cellule, ils répètent... Antigone. Ce texte d'Euripide vieux de 2 400 ans, ils le mettent en scène avec quelques accessoires : des bouts de ficelles, des clous, des boîtes de conserves. C'est à la fois tragique et hilarant. Puis tout bascule. John apprend que sa demande de réduction de peine a été acceptée : il sort dans 3 mois alors que Winston va finir ses jours à Robben Island. Le Procès et le Châtiment d'Antigone trouveront alors toute leur dimension dans cette misérable cellule du bout du monde où Antigone/Winston dira adieu à son pays et à son peuple : « Je me dirige maintenant vers une mort vivante, parce-que j'ai honoré ces choses auxquelles l'honneur appartient » The Island est une pièce sur les conditions de vie effroyables d'une des plus célèbres et sinistres prisons du temps de l'apartheid, une pièce aussi qui nous dit que la vie est toujours plus forte que le doute et le désespoir.

The BBC's Sophie Ikenye went along to see a performance and later the playwright joined her on our Focus on Africa programme from Stellenbosch, South Africa.
