medEia is a contemporary version of the Medea myth about love and its many truths and lies. The story is told from the perspective of the chorus: the chorus is a permanent witness to the dramatic proceedings but unable to intervene in the tragedy. The text is interlaced with lyrics of American and English pop songs. These lyrics are, like Greek mythology, part of our collective memory.
