MEDEA: THE WITCH OF CORINTH

An ancient story told by new gods.

WORK IN PROGRESS SHOWING AND WORKSHOP
By theatrePUNK co.


MEDEA: THE WITCH OF CORINTH' is a magickal adaptation of Euripedes’ Medea, by theatre maker and witchcraft practitioner El Waddingham & directed by Annabel Gilbert.

It’s the 1970’s. Second-wave feminism is sweeping the Western world. A new-age witch born of ancient magic is being betrayed by all the men around her. Until a female force too strong to ignore comes knocking, and empowers her to take charge, whatever the cost. 

Beware the season of the witch, and her loyal, sirenic coven. 

This isn't your grandma's Medea - it's a concoction of live ritual, dance and traditional Greek theatre, blended to create an experiential piece of performance art. A deep exploration of the danger and joy of social movements, the work seeks to interrogate why women have relentlessly been drawn towards witchcraft throughout history. Daring, dark and divine, for anyone who’s felt the call of something greater from the ashes of the past.
