I think sometimes by gathering key phrases and plot points from the text, you can create a more personalized experience with a work of literature by connecting to the emotional aspects in your own way, once the framework of the piece is laid out.
One part of the video installations in my Medea fragmentation is geared to provide that framework. Certain key phrases were taken from the Euripides text to provide a very loose base line of activity and a mere glimmer of insight into Medea's mindset. Ideally, it will be received as a visual version of overhearing part of a phone call.
