Event Details
Does Medea murder her own children, driven by anger and desperation and the desire for revenge? And, what do we, as audience take away from this tragic story? Hyoung-Taek Limb's Korean version of the Euripides classic examines these questions and in a deft move, constructs two Medeas on stage. One represents the Medea of the present, abandoned by her husband Jason, desperate and revengeful, plotting and executing the murder of her two young children. The other represents the inner Medea, who once fell in love with a young man called Jason, and is driven by her maternal instincts to protect her two young children. What is showcased is the eternal conflict between the before and the after of the act; the inner and the outer of personalities and their conflicts. We see many sides of Medea the feminine and the masculine, and as mother and as lover - as past and present fuse into a powerful re-telling of the Greek original. The critically acclaimed production strips bare the text, and explores its human essence with a seamless integration of the body, voice and imagination. 'Medea and its Double' has been performed in numerous countries around the world, including most recently, Romania, Egypt and Chile.
