Exit Medea envisions the Greek myth of Medea as a horror road movie.
Torn between loyalty to her family, and her love for Jason, Medea attacks her father and flees with Jason to unknown lands. Her brother pursues them. When Jason betrays and abandons her, she is driven to the ultimate act of vengeful destruction.
A collage of poetic language, images and genres, where action takes place in a pre-rational, mythic dreamscape of ritual, violence and blood sacrifice.
