Jason has left Medea; she and the children are threatened with banishment. Through the new marriage with the daughter Creon, Jason receives the final right of residence and a socially and economically secure position. Deeply hurt by this betrayal, mercilessly disturbed by Jason's shameless disregard of marriage and oath of loyalty, Medea devises a cruel plan for revenge. Excessive love turns into excessive anger: Medea decides to kill their children. What can a person give up, what can be taken from him before he mercilessly beats out?
The production was invited to the Berliner Theatertreffen in 2013 and Constanze Becker received the German theatre prize “Der Faust” as best actress for her performance of Medea.
