SPETTACOLO IN LINGUA ARABA CON SOVRATITOLI IN ITALIANO
Out of the story of a broken marriage, I M E D E A is a free adaptation of the Ancient Greek Myth of Euripides, written and directed by Kuwaitian playwright and director Sulayman Al-Bassam. Corinth is a dangerous littoral in which the fiercely secular public order is whipped into a frenzy of xenophobia by the arrival of migrants on small boats and the populist political agendas of its leader, Creon. In the era of tech-driven authoritarianism, Medea re-enacts as an outspoken Arab migrant, a post-colonial ‘barbarian’ subject.
