A City in Ruin
"...queer folk were unilaterally sent into exile...They reside in what remains of Phoenix, Arizona...Phoenix is now a city-in-ruin, the dumping site of every kind of poison and person unwanted by its neighbors. Scenes shift to the 'present,' where MEDEA is an inmate in a prison psychiatric war...Psychiatric ward scenes represented by a deadening silence and the glare of hospital lights. Phoenix is represented by the ceaseless racket of a city out of control (constant traffic, low-flying jet planes, hawkers squawking their wares, muy 'Blade Runner-esque'). The lighting is urban neon. Most people look lousy in it" (Moraga, 6).
