In this brutally updated version of Euripides "Medea" we find the anti-heroine a victim of prostitution, pimping and perhaps even human trafficking. Something does get lost along the way of Antonio Zúñiga's adaptation of the ancient Greek pantheon of rebel women. And the drama does become involuntary comical with a handful of men trying to govern a group of wicked women. And it became uneasy in the stalls among the women in the audience. They probably felt cheated of a contemporary battle of the sexes. Anyway, most of the female actors were brilliant. Especially Medea/Maria herself - Ilse Salas. To which we all owe a standing ovation for her dedicated work effort.
