September 2024 marked the start of the highly publicised trial of the
Mazan rape case, also known as the Pelicot case. The trial ended in
December of the same year with widespread media coverage and sparked
much debate. This shift in public debate was made possible by Gisèle Pelictot's
decision to make the trial public "so that the shame would shift
to the other side".
On the other hand, the figure of Medusa, originating in Greek mythology,
has today become a powerful symbol of feminist movements. The version
of the myth evoking (more or less clearly depending on the translation)
the assault suffered by Medusa at the hands of Poseidon (Neptune) in the temple of Athena
(Minerva) is absolutely relevant today.
Finally, in connection with the trial mentioned above, there is the issue of the discrediting of victims. There are numerous testimonies from people who found themselves faced with someone who did not take their situation seriously, sometimes even turning the events against them.
The play was conceived based on these three aspects.
