Disembodied Voices

Medea is a borderless Tekhne Epic for live audiences in person and online conceived by La MaMa’s Great Jones Repertory Company, CultureHub, and Zishan Ugurlu. The epic tells the story of Medea, a refugee whose reality is shattered when she learns of her and her children’s looming exile, investigating parallels between the myth and the current refugee crisis by collaging real stories, ancient tongues, and hackable audiovisual systems.

Presented in La MaMa’s recently-renovated 74A E. 4 St. building, Medea unfolds across 3 floors and leverages the building-wide data network to break past the walls of the theatre. Using custom-built interactive technologies, an online audience will affect audio, video, and lighting elements throughout the show. The in-person and online versions follow the same story but are distinctly different iterations that allow audiences to attend both experiences for a deeper look into the world of the production.

"This excellent book begins with the observation that breath has traditionally been overlooked by both literature and literary study, in part due to the sheer difficulty of capturing it in writing: the latter, Heine notes, tends to semanticize breath, thereby failing 'to reproduce the sound or visual appearance of breath accurately.'"
