| MEDISAGA SYNOPSIS |
| THE MEDISAGA is a film trilogy comprised of: Titania, Purgatory, and Neptune. It re-interprets the fairy tale of The Armless Maiden, through the faery queen Titania, and other characters from Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream, as well as Greek mythology. After Titania's wings are violently torn from her body she must embark on a journey of healing to become whole again. TITANIA Not long after the birth of her child, Titania entered a forbidden corner of a dark forest, and was viciously attacked by a flock of harpies. During the brutal assault her wings were violently torn from her body - her distinctiveness as a faery queen robbed. From that moment, Titania was confined to the grounds of her estate by an edict of the court. She became trapped inside her delusions, living in fear of being hunted down and slain by the harpies that attacked her the first time. When her infant son disappears (believed to be taken by his father, Oberon) she has no choice but to enter the dark forest again, and face her greatest fear to save her child. PURGATORY The second film in the saga finds its characters continuing their journey in an uncompromising wilderness. Titania, cast out from the fairy court, roams the countryside, looking for Oberon. She had banished him to the outlands of her province mistakenly placing blame on him for the harpies' attack. But now, as she begins to realize the pawn she's become in an elaborate game between the god of sleep and the god of dreams - she must find Oberon to help her escape their hold and return home. It is in this unforgiving territory that Titania unexpectedly turns to a path of forgiveness and walks deeper into a threatening Purgatory toward devastating loss and profound grace. NEPTUNE Every great Hero of classical literature makes a trip to the Underworld, and our Heroine will do the same to fight for the life of her true love. In the final chapter of The Medisaga Trilogy Titania will bribe the god of dreams to help her descend to the world of shadows where she will be put to her greatest test - convincing Death to allow Oberon to return to the land of the living. What Titania will discover from lost souls about self-sacrifice completes her journey to become whole again, but at a great price. |
