  Médea | 2018

To some extent, her story may have contributed also to the denomination process of natural disasters. Natural disasters used to be called with female names, what was not coincidence, because originally they’d been named by saints, who had been celebrated on the day of the disaster. Since the end of 70’s of 20th century, hurricanes, for instance, have been named in alphabetical order, not only with female, but also male names in turns. State of a person after learning about the infidelity of the partner has often similar uncontrollable and destructive manifestations, often resulting in the evacuation on one side. Project Médea refers to the classical Greek tragedy by Euripides, but the play is retold from modern point of view, as a protofeminist novel about the struggle of a woman, who cannot take responsibility for her fate in the world dominated by men. At the same time, she discusses the question, whether there is still need to divide the world of emotions between male and female.
