The second theater premiere this summer is Medea by S. Stone and H. Müller, directed by the great European director Martin Kušej. This major co-production of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, the Croatian National Theatre Varaždin and the Drama of the Slovenian National Theatre Maribor brings a powerful dramatic story to the impressive setting of the Lovrjenac Fortress. Kušej uses one of the most important female characters in ancient drama as a powerful tool for questioning the cruel mechanisms of the modern world – her “otherness”, marginalization and her position in the social and political context, especially in a time of increasing xenophobia. Preparations are in full swing – the set sketches are ready, and we will soon reveal the impressive cast.
