Constellation Theatre Company presents
CHILDREN OF MEDEA
written and performed by Sue Jin Song
directed by Allison Arkell Stockman
Last seen at Constellation in our 2013 production of 36 VIEWS, playwright and actor Sue Jin Song returns to DC for her vivid one-woman show of adolescence, fantasy, and transformation.
After Cynthia’s mother disappears without a trace, the seventeen-year-old Korean-American struggles to excel in school, raise her younger sister Julianne, and meet the expectations of her emotionally absent, immigrant father. Soon Cynthia begins to retreat into the surreal universe of her own psyche, where she encounters familiar figures like Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Presiding over it all is Medea, at long last reclaiming her infamous role within Greek mythology.
With Song masterfully embodying all of the characters in a tour-de-force solo performance, CHILDREN OF MEDEA is a raw and visceral coming-of-age story that balances haunting lyricism with youthful wonder.
