Mojada

From the author of last season’s critically-acclaimed Oedipus El Rey, Mojada is a breathtaking reimagining of Euripides’ Medea transported to Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. Medea, a young, gifted curandera (healer) in exile, is running from a past filled with betrayals. With husband Jason and her son in tow, the illegal immigrant is caught in a struggle to adapt to the modern world. Alfaro’s stunning modern take on the Greek myth tackles American immigration, family, tradition, culture and the explosive moment when they all collide.
