Ajouna Bao-Lavoie

Morgane wakes up after a sexual assault to the sound of a female voice whispering her name. She tries to seek help and make her way home, but strange occurrences appear on her path. Apparitions of women clothed in identical red sheets, incomprehensible phone calls, and hands reaching out toward her disrupt her journey. Morgane loses control of her body and consciousness, forced to relive the night that sealed her fate. She becomes trapped in a nightmare from which she cannot escape. Her only way out might require for blood to be bled.

Sophie Deraspe’s adaptation of the classic Greek tragedy of the same name reimagines the story of a woman’s quest for justice as a commentary on the immigrant experience in contemporary Montreal.
