MEDEA: Love, did you say?
It is a mighty curse.
EURIPIDES / Medea.
I did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. I did not like to be touched because I craved it too much. I wanted to be held very tight so I would not break.
MARYA HORNBACHER / Wasted.
CHORUS:
Glory!—dark brown and streaks of gold, brightest
of all born under the cover of shrouded shadows,
red and ivory pomegranates dripping with scarlet
juices.
A babe, made of both the pitch black dark
and Kore's Spring the first and only of her
line, marked by tragedy. Marked by
retaliation. Vengeance akin to the skin on
the back of her loose-skinned infant hand.
Medea, fuelled by her namesake, hovered above
our line of life and death. Created by equal parts. Insufficient, she feels. Like an eagle with a broken
wing—her power hindered by the mind's curse.
Lest she break free of her shackles and embrace the crawling vines inside her!
To fire Medea will fall.
A message will mark her beginning—
The journey between life and death. The
crossing of the Styx at the mouth of the
cave, where a descendant of Hephaestus
claims her aid and the course will forever
change.
The pomegranate seeds will lead her home.

Medea Park.....
THE DAUGHTER OF PERSEPHONE.
It's rotten work.
Leo Valdez.....
THE SON OF HEPHAESTUS.
Not to me. Not if it's you.
FEATURING:
Nico Di Angelo.....
THE SON OF THE UNDERWORLD
What is it like to burn?
Kennedy Song.....
THE DAUGHTER OF THE HEART
How slow life seems to me, how violent the hope of love can be.
