“Oedipus” is the story of a city in crisis, desperately looking to its leaders for answers. It is the story of an unsolved murder that inevitably resurfaces. It is the story of a terrifying prophecy and a man attempting to outrun his fate. @DeafWest’s “Oedipus” at the Getty Villa Museum is a unique and innovative retelling of the classic Greek tragedy.
