La Medea Trailer (2017)
Trailer for the short film La Medea. A ferociously inventive new interpretation of a timeless tragic tale of revenge, this one-of-a-kind film is the product of Miami-born filmmaker and choreographer Yara Travieso’s recent New York dance-theatre event, which was performed, shot and edited in real time. Reimagining Euripides’ infanticidal anti-heroine as the subject of a live, tell-all TV special, La Medea uses aspects of contemporary media culture to provoke questions regarding notions of justice and the so-called hysterical woman.
