Medea by Euripides (A performance for two actors, chorus and a microphone) - SYN DRόMoS Theatre Co
A play that needs no introduction. A heroine that divides the audience by constantly changing faces and ways: an appalling child killer or an early feminist? A heinous criminal or a social rebel? An artful politician or an ordinary woman? The victim or the abuser? The debate unravels in front of our eyes and the decision is ours. What are the limits of our tolerance and where does our complicity begin? A contemporary performance, “Medea by Euripides” takes the shape of an ‘onstage duet’ that seeks out the origins of violence with humour, not to make a parody the original play, but to enhance the timeless quality of Euripides’ masterpiece.
