Milo Rau & NTGent: Medea's Children

Against the background of the myth of Medea, this documentary-theatre piece examines what it means to be a child in a world of conflict, migration, uprootedness and social disintegration.

With Medea’s Children, house artist Milo Rau takes a new, in-depth look at the role of children in theatre. A real criminal case is the starting point: the case of a mother who, in total despair, decides to kill her children and take her own life – but she survives. This modern tragedy is interweaved with the classical Medea, the most infamous case of relationship conflict and infanticide in Western literature.
