Meet the team from 𝗡𝗮-𝗜𝗯𝗮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, the final show in our Melbourne Fringe Hub! Featuring an ensemble with roots across the Philippines, India, Malaysia, Chile, and Vietnam & Iran, this production asks where this ancient story of displacement, betrayal, and rage still lives; in the body, in the mother tongue, in the memory of a border crossed.

A performance development work by Divergent Theatre Collective, drawn from Euripides' Medea and made entirely in the present tense, Na-Iba: The Other plays from 15 - 17 October. Double-billed with 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺.

"For me, what makes our Medea special is all of us bringing a little bit of where we come from into the same story. We're Filipino, Malay, Indian, Vietnamese-Iranian and Spanish, and somehow all those different backgrounds come together through the movement and rhythm of the bamboo sound. It feels like our own Medea, rather than just another retelling of the classic." - Mayen (Ensemble Member)

In today's Backstage at Fringe, we speak to Roman Berry and some of the Ensemble from 𝗡𝗔-𝗜𝗕𝗔: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗔 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗮, which comes to Explosives Factory next week as part of our Melbourne Fringe Festival Hub!
