MEDEA

INSPIRED BY THE TRAGEDY OF EURIPIDES


A contemporary adaptation of the ancient myth, reimagined through a bold female perspective.


This women-led performance transforms the story of Medea into an emotionally charged exploration of betrayal, loss, power and liberation — raw, physical and powerfully present.


When betrayal destroys everything,
there is only one choice left:
the choice of oneself.


She loses trust, home and love.
She breaks the cycle of pain.
She steps into a terrifying decision in the name of personal freedom.


Medea is a flame that burns the past to ashes so that something new can rise.


Free. Dangerous. Real.
Emotions — exposed.
Actions — utterly honest.
