Medea is not a maiden blinded by passion, captured by Jason's love. Nor does he help the Greeks steal the Golden Fleece out of love. Medea is the prince of Colchis, the heir to the throne of Colchis in conflict with his father and brother, who is driven by the desire to get revenge on the king, his family and the kingdom of Colchis. Her task is not to marry Jason, but to overthrow Kolkheti, her father's family and Kolkhi culture.
Paata Cikolia's new version offers a completely unexpected take on the Medea myth and explores something that is painful to squint at. Medea is still in her homeland, and the blood-soaked coast of Colchis is the soil on which this mythical figure grew. Everything started from here. In 2021, the play won the literary prize "Saba" in the nomination of the best drama of the year.
