Medea

by Rachel Cusk 

THEATRE
JANUARY 21ST E 22ND OF 2026, 9.30PM
ROOM 17 OF EP2 – ESAD.CR

Medea’s marriage is breaking up. And so is everything else. Testing the limits of revenge and liberty, Euripides’ seminal play cuts to the heart of gender politics and asks what it means to be a woman and a wife. One of world drama’s most infamous characters is brought to controversial new life by the writer Rachel Cusk.

This project is the result of a collaboration between the Theatre Course at ESAD.CR and the Master’s Degree in Translation (English-Portuguese) at Universidade Católica (Portuguese Catholic University). Rachel Cusk’s play Medea was translated into Portuguese by the translation students, and, in turn, the second-year students of the Theatre Course adapted this version for the stage. National Premiere.
