Clásicas desfeitas is a cycle promoted by the Centro Dramático Galego with the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia to rediscover the classics through the languages of the contemporary stage. The cycle is part of the Gaiás Artistic Residencies programme (REGA).
In a stage experience that mixes the fake documentary with the freak show, Laura Porto and Helena Varela bring together the pieces on Medea left by Euripides, the poet Chantal Maillard and the novel by Christa Wolf to try to elucidate who the woman behind the myth really was. We will also have the opportunity to hear what her neighbours and relatives, from her ex-husband Jason to her grandparents and children, have to say about her.
