Medea
Why is it important to reimagine the styling of Medea?
Throughout Greek mythology and tragedy, Medea has been portrayed with negative, “othered” connotations. By reimagining how she would be portrayed on stage, her characteristics can be understood in a new light. Medea “behaves without restraint or morality” and is both “terrifyingly free” as well as extremely caged within a world she did not ask for. This look incorporates references to her lineage from the sun god Helios, her nuptials to Jason, and her queered relationship with maternity.
