Medea

Synopsis:
In this ancient Greek classic, Medea-jilted bride of the Greek hero Jason-confronts betrayal, sorrow, passion, love, and ultimately death in her quest for vengeance. Conceived and directed by Producing Artistic Director Ruben Polendo, the company engages in a violent adaptation that examines the play's perceptions of gender by presenting the famed villain Medea as a man and her paramour, Jason, as a woman.
