The Medea Effect

Ada and Hugo. Souls lost in the emotional maelstrom of The Medea Effect. Both abandonees and abandoners - attached, inseparable, stuck in their suffocations and the viscosity of a seemingly unforgettable act, written in water, burnt into sand. He is a director, she is an actress, this is a casting call. He is lookîng for Euripides’ Medea. She shows up to the audition, dislocated, furious, and convinces him to listen to her story. The story of a woman who, sick with love, commits a monstrous act of forgetfulness. A contemporary Quebecois tragedy, traced with the elements of classical geometry and opposites: lines and curves, reason and emotion, conflict and dialogue.
