Medea, Hispanic Antilles, versions, transgressionsAbstract
Medea dramatic persona acquired new resonances in the 20th century in relation to the discovery of the “other”. However some versions have been written in Latin America since the middle of the century, in the so-called Greater Antilles this classical character appears in dramatic works for the first time in Cuba by 1960, not as an alien in new lands but as a poor, brown-skin and discriminated woman. Since then, Medea has been revived in relatively countless versions by different playwrights from the Hispanic Antilles. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to find her new personality traits assumed in this context as well as the similarities and differences in each of these versions in interpreting the original myth, the dialogue and the transgression.
