In the play, Medea’s journey from the ancient tragedy by the poet Euripides becomes a contemporary migration story packed into a criminal case.
The moving production of "Medea" by the theater class of the Heinrich Mann Gymnasium in Cologne begins with the waves of the Black Sea. In the play, the story of the child murderess turns out to be the fate of a woman who has fled - the child murder itself is not really clarified because rumors turn the stranger into a perpetrator before blood has even been shed. The production traces the descent of a woman who, in addition to or through her experiences of racism, also loses her husband to another woman. Medea goes from being a dazzling princess to being an exile, an outcast and finally homeless.
