Through Sophocles' Antigone, the article presents a poetic-essayistic narrative and reflections grounded in the concept of the Tragic, developed by Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) in his work The Birth of Tragedy, and on the body in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The intent of this poetic-philosophical intertwining of writing is to exercise, from Antigone, the elaboration of a fertile carnification for creating the performative project Antigone: shedding tears into dance, in development by the Vestígio Dance Company. Can Nietzsche establish a field of experience? The article proposes the possibility of transforming philosophy into bodily labor, as a philosophy of the flesh.
