Medea

Stage Design

The project I started with Medea and went on to explore the changing status of women in Ancient Greece from Medea killing her son to punish her husband. So why did this happen? I reconstructed the script from women’s inherent characteristics, Mother’s stress in childcare, and Poor things, the setting of Bella's adult body and child mind to the maturity of her mind and female awakening after growing up. I designed it to focus on childcare and the womb, describing Medea's journey from falling in love, giving birth to a child to killing her son in the end. It is meant to express the pressure women suffer in marriage and childcare, and to call for women's awakening.
