The scene is taking place in New-York city, the heroes Jason and Medea are immigrants.
Just like in the classical history, their love is born of a crime left
in the past, but it is out of the question for them to look back: for illegals, there is no other law but survival. The tragic work digested in ten short episodes tells that love has a blood-red memory. The crude lighting given to the story and the way the play deals with the status of refugees make Medea’s trajectory to infanticide even harsher.
