A melanated fable of a woman reclaiming her own

BSU Theatre turns to a complex ancient tale of betrayal and revenge in a new devised adaptation of Medea. Though guilty of heinous crimes, this story explores societal permissiveness and forgiveness extended to men which would drive women to do the unimaginable. A blend of contemporary language, movement and aerial choreography, Medea explores the many layers of the mind and a broken heart.

Following an award-winning season for BSU Theatre, Flyin’ West takes audiences back to the days of the Homestead Act and the founding of a Black community in Nicodemus, Kansas – a place of immense possibility, steered by the vision and fortitude of the Black female pioneers. Local director Angelisa Gillyard (Constellation Theatre, 1st Stage) joins with BSU senior stage management team Amari Chambers (Class 2023) and Malaysha Saboleh (Class 2023) to celebrate the resilience of ancestors and the strength of sisterhood as they confronted racism and encroaching opportunists who sought to undo the paradise they dreamed could be their future and their legacy.
