About the Performance:
An ancient story that feels more relevant today than ever. Medea’s eternal image – a powerful woman who sacrifices everything for love.
Medea’s tale is steeped in sacrifice. For her life with Jason, she shed blood and committed unspeakable crimes.
Will she need to cross yet another line to say farewell to Jason?
Is a woman who gives up what’s most precious still a villain?
Perhaps Medea, as a mother, is protecting what the state seeks to take from her.
The performance includes an excerpt from Euripides’ Medea.
