This world premier is a bold reimagining of Euripides’ Medea, in which the infamous sorceress is no mere mortal—she is a Goddess bound by flesh, power, and the crushing weight of love turned betrayal. As Medea’s marriage to Jason fractures, the play unearths the ancient forces that shaped her: the Triple Goddess—Maiden, Mother, and Crone—guiding her through the Veil, a liminal space between life and death. Magic pulses through every moment as Medea wrestles with fate, identity, and the choice to reclaim herself at any cost. A lyrical and visceral descent into myth and self-determination, MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA asks: when the world demands your silence, how loud will you dare to be?
