This November, the worlds of art and science converge under one roof as Teatro Meron brings fire and
fury to the Mind Museum. Known primarily as a hub for scien\u019ffic discovery, the museum will, for the
first \u019fme, transform into a stage for live theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with Eastern Communications and Tunog at Liwanag sa Teatro Inc. (TLT), Teatro Meron
presents Ang Medea, National Ar\u019fst Rolando Tinio\u2019s Filipino adaptation of Euripides\u2019 classic tragedy
Medea. The production marks a bold fusion of intellect, ar\u019fstry, and human emotion, bridging myth and
modern reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a well-received run with Tanghalang Ateneo, director and Teatro Meron founder Ron
Capinding returns to the piece, leading a strong ensemble headed by Miren Alvarez-Fabregas, who
earned critical acclaim for her portrayal of the vengeful Medea.
Explaining his decision to revisit the material, Capinding reflects,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much to learn from a classic like Medea. Some plays reflect the present, others uncover the
past, and a few imagine what\u2019s to come. A true classic can do all of that\u2014and even more.\u201d
In this retelling, Ang Medea confronts the fragility of human dignity and the devasta\u019fng choices it can
inspire. The story centers on Medea, a woman who gives up her homeland for Yason, only to be
betrayed and cast out in a foreign land that never truly accepted her. Her struggle contrasts sharply with
Yason\u2019s belief that dignity can be traded for power, privilege, and ambi\u019fon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposite Alvarez-Fabregas is Brian Sy, a seasoned actor recognized for his work in Ang Duyan ng
Magiting (2023), GomBurZa (2023), and Midnight in a Perfect World (2020). Alternating in the role of
Yason is Yan Yuzon, who previously played the same part to praise for his intensity and emo\u019fonal
range\u2014from blistering fury to aching remorse.
Ang Medea will run at the Mind Museum Special Exhibi\u019fon Hall, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) on these
dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
