Love, Medea

The Center at West Park is a home for arts, culture, and community in the landmark West Park Presbyterian Church on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. The Center is a secular not-for-profit organization that offers a diverse range of programs for artists, audiences, and the neighborhood; manages the building’s venues; and stewards the restoration of its historic exterior.

The Center at West Park

<DIV><EM><STRONG>A theatrical music video, a visually and textually kaleidoscopic experience offering a multiplicity of entry points into the classic tale of love, revenge, and sacrifice. </STRONG></EM></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><EM>Love,</EM><I> Medea</I> is a quest for Medea’s uncharted odyssey. What is her own epic narrative, heretofore unsung? Part theatre piece, part dance show, part haute couture runway and part art/light instillation, we ebb and flow from radio plays to vacuum ballets, examining the mythic structures alive in our own society: the pervasive glow of media manipulation and our society’s unquenchable consumption of the other. As Medea seeks to heal, we may glimpse slivers of a greater story that haunts us to this day: that of a woman stripped of voice and homeland, who sacrificed her heart to put a man’s heroic epic before her own. She was once content to stay meek in his shadow. But, no more…<SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
