Trojan Women | Die Troerinnen

War is a devastating, inhumane, torturous experience - and we can only begin to understand its consequences by hearing and seeing the stories of those truly affected by it. Unfortunately, war continues to spread trauma and loss across the whole world, which is why Euripides’ tragedy is somehow still as relevant today, nearly 2500 years after its original production in ancient Athens.

The play starts at the end of Trojan War, where the widowed women of Troy huddle around Queen Hecuba, struggling to survive as they wait for the Greek herald, Talthybius, to unveil their faith. Who is really to blame for the Trojan war: the Gods, the Greeks, or Helen’s “face that launched a thousand ships”?  Indeed, who is to blame for the wars we continue to suffer? The God(s)? Politics? Money? We invite spectators to draw their own conclusions, following this challenging and dramatic piece of theater.

Adapted for modern audiences by dramaturg T.J. Yacap and directed by Bailey Hubbs, Outland Theatre's ensemble will present a post-tragedy play that delves into the idea of grief through the lens of the divine feminine, while remaining faithful to the original text. The play examines how storytelling and satire bring much needed light and hope in a destitute landscape devastated by war. The audience will follow our Trojan women as they await their fates in a Greek holding area, completely isolated from the outside and without any comforts. Our company hopes to breathe new life into this timeless production by showing war and degradation repetitive in nature, regardless of place and time and how society’s ideas of “womanhood”, “duty”, “motherhood” and “hope” can have many different layers in the face of tragedy.
