MEDEA (A LA CARTE)
Medea (a la carte) is a research proposal and scenic creation around the myth and deconstruction of the character Medea. As a referents has the films Medea of Pasolini’s and Medea from Lars Von Trier, Roberto Calasso’s narrative in The Weddings of Cadmus and Harmony and the texts Medea Material of Heiner Müller’s and God-Dog by Toni Cots.
The purpose of this research and creation is to structure 4 short pieces, each with its own entity and present them in unconventional spaces (such as homes, work spaces, etc..). Their process takes several approaches to the character and the myth. Medea (a la carte) is proposed as a dialogue with the public so it generates a space of shared intimacy.
