We’re doing a special screening of Yara Travieso’s 2017 film La Medea at the library on Saturday October 8th! The screening will be accompanied by a virtual introduction from the director! Link to tickets in the bio More about the film... La Medea re-imagines Euripides’ tragic myth into a made for camera latin-disco-pop musical film. Often screened with the live score performed by the original live band inside the cinematheque, this unique feature film was directed, performed, shot, and edited in real time, creating a high-stakes vulnerability for cast, crew, and audiences alike. Performers and camera women play the characters, while in-studio audiences act as the Greek chorus and film extras. The pervasive figure of the wild foreign woman who vengefully murders her own children is shattered in this genre-bending multidimensional dismantling of an ongoing toxic myth.
