Médusée

Add to my favorites

Medusa, a mythical, cabaretic creature, is enraged - hissing snakes on her head, glistening bites on her body, petrifying gaze. And what if her eyes were really just a mirror, a reflection of violence and fear - the kind some people keep silent about, the kind others refuse to admit or hear? This story is first and foremost the story of love; the love we have for others, for ourselves - this new love to be defined, drawn, invented.
From the depths of her cave, she untangles her swarming hair, loosens tongues and asks Justice - Athéna, are you there?
When words are too hard to articulate, she sings with her sister-gorgons - songs of yesterday and today, songs straight out of her teenage bedroom or her remote cave.

Medusa blends self-fiction with the legend surrounding the figure of the monstrous Medusa. Before us, Medusa and her sisters name everything - their romantic dreams, their rapes, their battles - they deconstruct their fantasies and invent new ones.
