The performance \u00abSoma Medea\u00bb<\/strong><\/em>, by Alas<\/em> theatre company, is based on the play \u00ab<\/em>DCX<\/em> 212 Medea Constraction\u00bb:<\/em> by Z. D. Ainalis <\/strong>and was written for this particular performance. It was presented during the theatrical season 2024-2025 in Athens, attracting the warm response from critics and viewers. <\/p>\n\n

Savvas Stroumbos<\/strong> is responsible for the artistic supervision and adaptation.<\/p>\n\n

Performed by Natalia Georgopoulou<\/strong> and Antonis Iordanou<\/strong>, with the show’s composer and musician Yannis Ismurnoglou<\/strong> on stage.<\/p>\n\n

It is worth noting that the previous work of the group, “War Has No Woman Face” by Nobel Prize-winning author Svetlana Alexievich, was also presented with great success for two years, both in Greece and abroad.<\/p>\n\n

Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Soma Medea or Medea wound, is a landscape of ultimate desire and lament.<\/p>\n\n

Can life stem from a womb other than the unique visible or invisible wound that each person keeps within?<\/p>\n\n

How can it be revealed? Which is the space and time destined to embrace the theatre of life?<\/p>\n\n

Which is the stage that revives everything destined to pass into oblivion?<\/p>\n\n

Medea and Jason remain unquestionably, inseparably together. Their mutual body is Hades, their souls, animating between myth and reality, play a theatre of life and death in Hades. In front of us we watch a game of two surviving shadows who experience the most human tragedy, that of devastation and desolation. <\/p>\n\n

A game of two ghosts or two survivors experiencing the most human tragedy, that of ruin, that of desolation, of shadow.<\/p>\n\n
