This is part of a larger body of work that reimagines the myth of Medea through the lens of her displacement from Colchis (modern-day Georgia). Drawing inspiration from the imagery of Medea’s transcendence, as depicted on Roman sarcophagi—where she ascends in a dragon-drawn chariot—the film offers a vision that moves beyond time and tragedy. The exploration of mythic violence resonates with themes of power, agency and fate. Shot largely in Ostia, on the fringes of the Immortal City, Circe’s Dream evokes Rome’s strange, otherworldly atmosphere—timeless yet under threat.
