Moraga; afterword by Irma Mayorga.
In Roman/Greek Mytholgoy, Jason and the Argonauts went on a quest for the 'Golden Fleece,' which was guarded by a dragon in another kingdom. Jason goes to the kingdom, where the king says 'you can only have the fleece if you accomplish these tasks.' Medea, the king's daughter, falls in love with Jason and helps him complete the tasks. In the process, she kills her brother and they flee her homeland, but when she and Jason get back to Jason's place he says 'nah dog' and marries Corinthian princess named Glauce.
Medea says 'what the.' and kills both Glauce and the two children she had with Jason.
Chicano/a Studies. Muzica pentru copii. Queer Studies. THE HUNGRY WOMAN contains two plays by internationally recognized playwright Cherrie L. Moraga: THE HUNGRY WOMAN: A MEXICAN MEDEA and HEART OF THE EARTH: A POPUL VUH STORY. Both plays express Moraga's deep connection to myth, to the cultural question of Aztlan, and to Chicano/a politics as further shaped by feminist understanding and queer identity. They also restate and reinterpret ancient stories (Medea, La Llorona, the Maya legend of Popul Vuh, and others) for modern theatre in our time. In the forward to this edition, Moraga speaks of the forces that moved her to write these plays, while in the afterword critic Irma Mayorga examines the politics of myth and location in the two plays.
