Συγγραφέας: Andreas Flourakis
- Medea is a woman from the East, a queen in exile. Her burqa has become a part of her skin. The story follows Medea from her “masculine upbringing” to her abandonment by her husband in a foreign land, focusing on her vulnerability in a world that demands to change her. To survive on her own terms, Medea uses the violence she was taught, but in a moment of self-awareness, she refuses to kill her children, leaving them on their own to face the dangers of life. Though a murderer shaped by a patriarchal society, she is determined to save the future she gave birth to. A play about being a foreigner in an unfriendly country and a woman in a world run by men.
