Medea

Medea is a staged show arriving at the Teatro Arniches in Alicante, with the character of Medea, a figure from Greek myth, at the heart of the production.

Medea places at the centre of the stage the eponymous character of the Greek myth, the betrayed woman whom classical theatre turned into one of its most intense figures. The production sits within the register of drama, with Medea's conflict as the driving force of the narrative and the weight of passion, revenge and moral dilemmas as its guiding thread.

The performance takes place at the Teatro Arniches, an Alicante theatre that hosts both concerts and shows of theatre, dance and other live arts. It is a production built on text and stage presence, designed for audiences seeking a serious-toned drama who follow the action attentively throughout the performance.

Medea is suited to audiences interested in tragic theatre and in the different readings that each staging offers of this character. As a title from the classical repertoire, the experience will depend largely on the stage interpretation the creative team brings to the text.
