inner world theatre

The myth of Medea’s revenge – the murder of Jason’ s children she gave birth to – is one of the most tragic stories emanating from early European civilisation. Out of love for Jason, Medea the Hecate betrays her father, sisters and homeland; she kills her brother, disgraces her family name and honour and lives in insecure exile to be ultimately abandoned and deceived by a man to whom she sacrificed and gave everything possible in the domain of human existence.

Authors take the horizon of Medea’s myth as the material for a journey into her mental landscape, and tell a story from the perspective of her demise. When, at her magic table, Medea looks back at the ruins of her life and – for the final time – or who knows how many times – embarks on an impossible journey; wondering about the blind necessity of her fate, she takes another walk through her life to the crossroads where in the geometry of tragedy the elementary force of faith in love ruptures into the force of destruction.
