Intrigued by Medea, the young theatre-makers of oester turn to Heiner Müller’s Verkommenes Ufer / Medeamaterial / Landschaft mit Argonauten as a lens on a world under permanent pressure to exceed itself. Instead of asking whether Medea is guilty, the work lingers around the forces that produce her. Medea appears less as a monster than as a figure shaped by the systems around her. Müller’s fractured text becomes a landscape of voices where judgement slips, and where reality and its staging begin to blur.
