Overview
Spectrum Theatre, from Hungary, will bring Euripides’ tragedy Medea to life, in an emotional performance on July 18 at the Paphos Odeon Theatre.
The tragedy, the third instalment in the International Greek Drama Festival, follows the story of Medea, whose husband – Jason – decides to leave her for another woman, the King of Corinth’s daughter.
Seeking revenge, Medea kills their two children.
With a minimal scenography, the director Viola Török focuses, through speech, on the inner world of the dramatic persons, highlighting their soul. The use of music, inspired by traditional Hungarian folk songs, aims to combine the old with the contemporary, the diachronic values of morality, justice and Medea’s fight for revenge in a deceiving, unfair and cruel world.
Guest are asked to arrive before 20:45 to be seated.
There will be Greek and English surtitles at this performance.
