Medea – Red Emptiness 

By Sophia Dionysopoulou 

With Despoina Sarafeidou 

Greece 

In Greek with English subtitles 

Theatre 

Two Medeas, one actress. Medea the witch and Medea the woman who suffers. The one defeats death and speaks the future, the other lives the deception of the present. Majesty and passion in one person. A play where murder is abolished. 

The work is based on the pre-Euripides versions of myths. The children are not killed. They are sacrificed to Hera so as to become immortal and, in that way, they are saved from the anger of the Corinthians. 

The text is a lyric monologue written for an actress and performed as a poem.
