Medea
Adapted by Roxana Paun Trifan
Directer by Jaime Dörner
Medea, the tragedy, returns in this visceral and poetic adaptation of exile and resistance.
What happens when a woman who has crossed the world refuses silence?
Medea, The Tragedy is the next chapter of Project M, a bold reimagining of Euripides’ classic.
Blending ritual, live music, multilingual performance and a powerful ensemble of eight performers, this raw, visceral and deeply human adaptation of Medea transforms the ancient chorus into a force that breathes, sings, witnesses and judges. As Medea confronts betrayal, exile and the cost of belonging, the stage becomes a place where myth collides with the lived experience of migration.
