After becoming intrigued with the character of Medea, I decided to distill Euripides’s play by using mostly one performer and concentrating on a few characters.  Using the basic structure of the original text, I integrated other mediums for the purpose of serving the story. Our discourse is, therefore, both verbal and non-verbal. It is an interface with language, visual components of movement, and theatrical design elements. Doing so makes the production a shocker, both spectacular and disturbing.

Although Medea is a historical character, she lives in our imagination. She belongs to our global culture and has become, through time, a legendary figure. Rather than giving one singular illustration, Medea is a surrealist piece with fantastical elements.  Medea aspires to be a whisper in everyone’s mind, regardless of our origin.
