Imago Unleashes Something Bloodthirsty With A Modernized Medea
In Euripides’ version of “Medea,” the bloody plot includes a scene featuring “a chariot drawn by dragons.” But Mouawad keeps his Medea simple. There is no furniture, there’s barely any props. The only set used is Imago’s tilting stage, which wobbles as the actors move across it, evoking the shifting balance of power between Medea and Jason.
