This Medea is set in the liminal prison space, slightly futuristic, but leaning into the monumentality of the power that the old Greek Gods and forces hold. We are opening the space to the women of Korinth to tell us this story soaked in blood and regret through dance, taking up every bit of it. There is no warmth in Medea’s home, torn by her being influenced by the magnetic power of the portal of revenge and pain.
