What makes Medea, Medea?
Daughter. Lover. Foreigner. Immigrant. Skilled worker. Mother. Traitor to her home country. Sinful revenger. Multi-outcast exile. Killer of kin. Murderer of her own child.
Who decides what she is — and what she becomes?
In this radical rendition, Euripides’ Medea is reimagined through the lived experience of the immigrant woman’s body — a body that must constantly reshape itself to be loved, to be useful, to belong. As she claims, coaxes, seduces, persuades, and pleads, she sculpts herself anew, again and again, negotiating the exhausting demands placed upon her.
This is not a story of adaptation, but of construction — of exasperating negotiation, endless attempts to belong, and the act of survival.
Medea is not born. She is made.
Biographies
InOutDoor
InOutDoor is a one-person multidisciplinary performance-making production that independently produces, creates, designs, and performs its original work. Through interactive, intimate, and sensory-engaging approaches, it explores how embodied and scenographed experiences invite audiences into shared perception. Rooted in the metaphor of the door, its practice examines ‘thresholds’ and ‘boundaries’ between inside and outside in a sustainable and inclusive manner. It stands in solidarity with entities kept outside the door, seeking to gently dissolve the divisions that separate us.

All performances will be Relaxed. We invite you to make yourself comfortable and move around if you need to and if you need to leave the performance at any point you will be allowed to return to the space when you feel ready.
We want our shows to be as accessible to as many people as possible.
We offer tickets to most shows on a Pay What You Can basis throughout the year.
Tickets for Homegrown Festival performances in 2026 start at £3, and we have recommended pricing to help you choose a price that works for you.
We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some. If you can afford to pay the recommended price or more, choosing to do so supports those that can’t. It makes it possible for us to continue to offer Pay What You Can and welcome those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend.
