Circe’s Dream
HD Video,
2025
Circe’s Dream 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; but within this transcendence lies a profound sense of entrapment, both in Medea’s fate and in the structure of the film itself.
*Made during Medoidze’s residency at the British school at Rome, the film is part of a feature-length project she is currently developing.
