The Burials of André Cailloux: a Civil War Antigone is a new play with music by Professor Emeritus Alan Freeman.

The General who left him there is white. In reclaiming their late father's dignity, the sisters encounter the complex contradictions of Northern values. Inspired by the true story of Native Guard commander and hero Captain André Cailloux.
