Inspired by the tragedy of Euripides
A piece by TEATR FORMA

A contemporary adaptation of the famous classical myth, reimagined through a
bold female perspective.
This women-led piece transforms the ancient story of Medea into an emotionally
charged exploration of betrayal, loss, and liberation - raw, physical, and powerfully
present.

When betrayal destroys everything,
There’s only one choice left -
The choice of oneself.
She loses it all: trust, home, love.
She breaks the cycle of pain
And leads to a terrifying decision
In the name of personal freedom.

Medea is a flame
that burns the past to ashes
so that something new can rise.
Free. Dangerous. Real.

Emotions - exposed.
Actions - utterly honest.
