Synopsis
Duque shows us a rehearsal for a theatrical performance of Medea by an amateur theater group. The spontaneous gestures, the glances, sometimes vague, sometimes complicit or defiant, express a tense calm that gives a new dimension to the narration of the text of Medea by Chantal Maillard. Are they, are we all Medea’s children?
