MEDEA - a Play Directed by SATOSHI MIYAGI
Satoshi Miyagi, celebrated Artistic Director of Japan’s SPAC (Shizuoka Performing Arts Center), confronts the haunting legacy of empire with a spectacular contemporary reinterpretation of Euripides’ Medea, set in Japan’s late 19th-century Meiji era.
Through breath-taking visual symbolism, traditional music, and a form-defying performance, tradition and experimentation are fused in a bold postcolonial feminist retelling of Euripides’ classic. In Miyagi’s signature style, each character is played by two performers: a “speaker,” here played by men, and a “mover,” played by women, using movement rooted in kabuki technique.
This stunning and internationally acclaimed production, which has travelled to 20 cities and 11 countries, provides a fresh, dynamic take on this timeless story of grief, betrayal, and vengeance.
