Médée: tragédie

In this bold 17th‑century tragedy, the legendary sorceress Medea steps forward not as a mythic monster but as a woman torn between love, vengeance, and profound loss. When her husband abandons her for a younger princess, Medea’s fury fuels a desperate struggle that pits personal betrayal against the unforgiving dictates of fate. The playwright deliberately trims any ornamental subplots, letting the raw clash of terror and pity unfold on a tightly focused stage.

The verse throbs with the austere elegance prized by the ancient Greeks, each line crafted to echo the noble intensity of Euripides and Seneca. Listeners will sense the charged atmosphere of a single, relentless conflict, a drama that reverberates with timeless questions of justice, identity, and the cost of love. All the while the language retains a measured dignity, allowing the emotions to rise without the distraction of frivolous diversions.
