On the 27th of January 2010 I visited Christa Wolf in Pankow and we discussed a film I wanted to make called THE CURSE OF MEDEA based on her novel MEDEA-STIMMEN. Over tea and under the constant sound of aircraft landing in Berlin we discussed Medea the immigrant, treated with suspicion in her host country Korinth and how Christa came to tell the story. We were joined by the voices: Medea, Jason, Agameda, Glaucke and the spirit of the end of the GDR era.
