MEDEA VOICE – Korea – 26th August

The play delves deep into themes of power, betrayal, female oppression, identity, and alienation, reimagining the ancient Greek figure of Medea within a contemporary context. Power and Betrayal: Through the character of Jason, who betrays Medea to gain power, the play exposes the cruelty of power and human selfishness. Female Oppression: Medea serves as a powerful symbol of female oppression within a patriarchal society. She is portrayed as an object and a victim, highlighting the systemic disadvantages faced by women.

Identity and Alienation: Medea’s struggle to find her place in society after being ostracized mirrors the feelings of alienation and loneliness experienced by many in contemporary society.
