Theater & Performance Studies is pleased to bring the 2024 G. William Hume Fellow, Yokko, to 色界吧, performing their one-person show, Butoh Medea.
Run time is about an hour
Reinterpreting Euripides' great tragedy through the use of Japanese Butoh Dance, performance artist Yokko brings the tortured spirit of Medea to life. This fusion of Eastern dance and Western drama invites the audience inside Medea鈥檚 dark and desperate struggle. Trapped in the underworld, she is forever cursed to relive her tragic journey through love, hate, and ultimate loss.
Please note that there will be some nudity, loud music and surprises during the performance.
