MEDUSA

Medusa, the feared monster of antiquity with snake-like hair and a petrifying gaze for anyone who dared to look at her, is decapitated by the hero Perseus, who delivers the Gorgon’s head to the goddess Athena as a symbol of Victory. This is how the story has always been told, but… What if the events were narrated by Medusa herself? Would everything be the same?

We reformulate the classic myth of Medusa to delve into induced social thinking, appearances, fear of the different, and the value of integrity in a society that has not changed much despite the passing of centuries. Through humor and tragedy, music, voice, movement, and the plasticity of a multidisciplinary staging, we will tell the myth from the perspective of the vanquished, the anti-hero, thus revealing the other side of every coin, which retains its value no matter which side you look at. A biting, ironic, tragic, sometimes funny, forceful, and revealing staging to overturn the established order. The value of what should be silenced, but which screams a truth that wants to be heard. The truth of Medusa, The Gorgon.
