I think we see it with immigrants and we also see it with what’s going on with White America. So Medea was from a place originally and then was removed from it. Af- ter she helped Jason (her husband who leaves her for the Greek princess of Corinth) and the Argo- nauts perform all these heroic feats, she ended up in this land where she was “the other.” In the original text, a lot of the characters use this lan- guage against her as “the other.” So actually, that origi- Movies cont’d from pg 6 in a madman’s maze.

Suck It Up (Unrated) Bittersweet dramedy about a grieving sister (Grace Glowicki) and girlfriend (Erin Mar- gurite Carter) who em- bark on a therapeutic road trip to mourn their loss in the wake of the untimely death of a guy they both loved. With Dan Beirne, Toby Marks and Nancy Kerr. The Work (Unrated) Rehabilitation docu- mentary examining the criminal justice system from the perspectives of three Folsom prison in- mates participating in a four-day, group therapy session. nal is an immigrant story, but it’s also a tragic love story that does result in revenge. The Greek peo- ple have a big connection to land. And a lot of trag- edy happened — even the Trojan War — when peo- ple were removed from land. It’s what caused a lot of bloodshed. So I actually think (this ver- sion) is right on. I think Luis has found the root of what this story actu- ally means. I would say the major diff erence be- tween the two is that is does not focus on the re- venge. Instead, “Mojada” focuses on what happens to a person when every- thing is stripped from them, starting with their land and going to their family. It’s been interest- ing to be able to explore that classic. TSN: What kind of training or research did you undergo to prepare for the lead role of Me- dea? SZV: Of course reading the classic is a must, to understand the root of this epic tale. But there have been some really interesting studies that have gone on. Amnesty International put out a To place your ad, email advertising@theskanner.com or go to www.TheSkanner.com and click on the “Ads” menu report on immigrant and migrant patterns — and it reported that 60 percent of Central American and Mexican women coming up north into the United States were victims of sexual assault. Then in 2014, there was another investigation that said it was about 80 percent of women that are undergo- ing this. So I would dive into a lot of reports about women who migrated up. For the performances in Oregon, I read this book called “The Devil’s High- way.” It’s a fantastic non- fi ction account which fo- cuses on 26 men coming north from Mexico, and it really gets into the day- to-day of their journey. I believe only 14 of them survived. So that book got into the elemental struggles of what it takes to come across, in terms of water and weather and heat stroke. It helped me get into the actual physical journey of it, because one of the key scenes of the play, about a third into it, is the bor- der-crossing scene.

Most interiors will be removed and replaced with new; and the whole west exterior will be removed and replaced. now that is was when you fi rst performed it in Los Angeles back in 2015? SZV: Absolutely! I feel like it’s almost found it- self and its relevance, un- fortunately because of what’s happening right now. But what’s happen- ing right now has been happening for centuries, yet we have this histori- cal amnesia. I have to say, the production in Oregon gave those of us in the play a really wonderful interaction with the au- dience, because there’s something special about the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. When people go to see shows there they hang for a couple of days. So you end up interact- ing with the audience in a way that you don’t with most regional theater. So we got to do a lot of amaz- ing talkbacks, I got to work with students. (The themes) are everywhere – they’re intergenera- tional and global. It’s the story of “the other” and that journey to fi nd safe- ty and home and connec- tion.
