Over the years, Euripedes’ famed Greek tragedy Medea, has been adapted and taken on a host of different avatars onstage. When actor Shakthi Ramani talks about Medea, it is hard to miss the awe in her voice — there is wonderment for the complex play and its central character.
“We live in a world that celebrates the binaries extensively, and everything needs to black or white, or good or bad. Medea for me, lands somewhere in between this, and that is very powerful,” she says.
Shakthi is all set to bring alive Medea on stage through Why she did, What she did, a play by Theatre Nisha based on Euripedes’ Medea.
