Talking about her debut, Ira revealed that there was no particular reason for her choosing her debut with theatre and not a film. She also added that she wants to explore both of the mediums.

The plot of the tragedy revolves around Medea whose husband Jason leaves her when he falls in love with the Greek princess of Corinth. She thus takes revenge by murdering the new wife of her husband along with her own children after which she heads towards Athens to start a new life.
