The work takes its title from the Dialogue between the Milesians and the Athenians, which is recounted in the 5th book of Thucydides' History.  This dialogue has gone down in history as the confrontation of right versus power.
The entire work has as the central axis of its narrative the concept of Law and the struggle for justice.
Athens, pre-eminently a historical and cultural symbol of Western civilization, here occupies the dual role of both oppressor and ideal destination.
Taking contemporary Greek history and its crises as a starting point, the narrative aims not to remain local but to extend symbolically to the contemporary history of the imposition of the law of force: 'A form of justice without law, justice in the face of law', as Derrida put it in his essay 'The Force of Law'.
The play takes place symbolically in frozen landscapes. Within an icy landscape, a non-place dominated by the ice "Just Ice", a crowd of fighting "losers" moves about, determined to redefine here in the "Apple" the meaning of Law: "Justice".
Geography retreats in the contemporary world and shifts to the non-space and non-time of one (and only) absolute power, as Paul Virillio has pointed out, and of which violence is an essential component.

Violence as another Perseus cynically displays Medusa's head by freezing the head of those who face it. Hubris and nemesis are present on the stage and the road to Athens is very long.
