About the Show

This new pieces explores Euripides’ ancient tale of infanticide and sexual betrayal through the lens of a true crime podcast, physical storytelling, and modern dance.

From the show:

Medea and her sons are forced into banishment when her partner and lover, Jason of the Argonauts, chooses to marry the princess of Corinth behind Medea’s back.
