 **Shivaike Shah,** Khameleon Productions

 With discussant **Naomi A. Weiss**, Gardner Cowles Associate Professor of the Humanities, Department of Classics, Harvard University

 *Co-sponsored with Department of the Classics; Theater, Dance & Media; and the Office for the Arts at Harvard University*

 The *Uprooting Medea* project provides a provocative lens on Euripides’s canonic ‘Western’ play *Medea* by exploring and questioning contemporary themes of race, belonging, identity, home and otherness. The production reimagines Euripides’s Greek tragedy with an all-global majority cast and crew, and features original compositions, movement and spoken word.

 This presentation will introduce the *Medea* project and discuss the development and adaptation of the work since its original conception in Oxford. We will explore the creative practice of elevating global-majority artists through multimedia forms including theatre, film, music and poetry. The presentation will give an insight into the upcoming short film project (to be released later in 2022.)
