Produced by Delphine Lettau and Mike Pullen "Die Argonauten" by Franz Grillparzer is a tragic play written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around ancient mythological figures, particularly Jason and Medea, as they navigate themes of love, betrayal, and destiny amid familial loyalties and the weight of magical powers. At the start of the play, the scene is set in Kolchis, a wild and foreboding landscape, where King Aietes and his son Absyrtus anxiously discuss the arrival of trespassers seeking to reclaim the golden fleece stolen by Aietes' ancestors. As tensions rise, the character of Medea, Aietes' daughter, is introduced, revealing her inner turmoil as she grapples with her loyalty to her father and her growing feelings for Jason, the leader of the Argonauts. The opening establishes an atmosphere of impending conflict and foreshadows Medea’s pivotal role in the struggle, as she ultimately faces the heart-wrenching decision between love and allegiance.
