GETTY VILLA
Auditorium
This is a past event
Renowned playwright and performer Luis Alfaro discusses his fascination with Greek tragedies, his re-imagining of Medea at the Getty Villa, and the ways Euripides still speaks to us. Alfaro shares how he uses Greek classics to talk about socio-cultural issues of urban Latino life and in turn introduces new audiences to these ancient myths and mores.
