January 6-18, 2020

Love, Medea is a quest for Medea’s uncharted odyssey. Medea, the woman infamous for killing her children, arrives to chart her own story. Part theatre piece, part dance show, part haute couture runway and part art/light installation, Love, Medea is as epic as the odysseys previously reserved for Greek heroes. As Medea seeks to heal, we glimpse slivers of a greater story that haunts us to this day: that of a woman stripped of voice and homeland, who sacrificed her heart to put a man’s heroic epic before her own. She was once content to stay meek in his shadow. But, no more…
