STELLA travel
the recited land

a performance by bijoux de kant
based on STELLA by Michael Cacoyannis
19th – 29th of September 2013

 

STELLA
travel: the recited land. An ethnographic thriller. A tragedy. A meager evidence of the non-existence of God. A comment on beauty. A comment on sin. An erotic story. An endeavor to prove that the year 1955 has never existed. A journey. No journey. All of those and none of them.

The play is based on the film Stella and aims at reestablish in today’s world the mythical character which identified with the acting by Melina Merkouri. In the play “Stella travel”, the characters are eliminated to
three and the central heroine talks constantly about a travel. A travel which she doesn’t know if she really wants.

Stella in the slaughterhouse recites her life on a bloody stage, trying to find her voice or what she thinks as a voice. At “the recited land”, everything is allowed. The characters, the time and the place are interwined. The
new Stella suffers. She suffers by an intolerable nostalgia, by both desire and loss, by a wound and a miracle.
