By Euripides | Directed by Trinidad González | Company Teatro Anónimo | Adapted by Víctor Carrasco | Audiovisual director Vicente Sabatini
Discipline: Digital theater
Platform: Public TV, TVN channel
Language: Spanish
This radical version of the Greek tragedy by Teatro Anónimo involves an empty stage stripped of any kind of prop, with music, acting and ideas playing a key role. It tells the story of Medea, who kills her children to avenge her husband Jason after he leaves her, and turns the fact we have forgotten that children have feelings and how they can feel abandoned into its main themes.
The concept of feminine ideals such as ‘how things should be’ and sacrifice, together with the imposition of the patriarchy, are some of the other issues this production deals with. This version opts for relatable, intimate and natural performances like those in the movies and avoids over-the-top gestures or speeches, making a script written 2,600 years ago and whose ideas are still completely relevant today relatable to the audience. As director Trinidad González says, the story of Medea could still happen today in the twenty-first century, even though her actions are ‘indefensible’.
