Theater director Nahid Haji-Mohammadi has on stage at Molavi Theater Hall the play “Medea”.
The piece is based on a play titled “Despoiled Shore Medea Material Landscape with Argonauts”, written by German dramatist, poet, writer, essayist and theaterdirector Heiner Müller (1929-1995), Tiwall.com reported.
In Greek mythology, Medea was a sorceress, daughter of Aeetes (king of Colchis) who helped Jason to obtain the golden fleece and then married him. When Jason deserted her for Creusa, the daughter of King Creon of Corinth, she took revenge by killing Creon, Creusa, and her own children, and fled to Athens.
In “Despoiled Shore Medea Material Landscape with Argonauts”, Muller offers a new tone to the classical piece of literature and creates a contemporary aspect. It depicts a melodramatic relationship between a person and the world.
Shahzad Vojdani and Maryam Kamali perform in the play.
The piece will be staged till June 14. The hall is located at No. 16, 16th Azar, Enqelab Street.
