Updating the classics is a British specialty, and still Ben Duke stands out. A triple-threat (playwright–choreographer–director), Duke leans into the theater in dance-theater. The latest for his small, dedicated ensemble, Lost Dog, refashions Euripides’ brutal tragedy Medea as a made-for-TV courtroom drama over custody rights. Ruination: The True Story of Medea takes place in the underworld, after both the children and their cutthroat parents are dead. When they are not flashing back to the gory struggle that landed them here, the zombie litigants go at each other like guests on Jerry Springer’s show. Comic shenanigans culminate in an unexpectedly heartbreaking end. A Royal Ballet coproduction, Ruination opened to rave reviews in London last month. Now to Paris. —Apollinaire Scherr
