Solo for stage (2024)
PLAYBACK; 11 ANGELS is the third part of a triptych on melodrama within prescribed spaces. The work itself explores the banality of tragedy and distortions between appearance and truth by adapting Jean Cocteau's play "La Voix Humaine". Cocteau's text is built like a monologue, yet written in disjointed phrases, moving from tender longing to outbursts of despair embodied by a woman who, on stage, plays out her last moments as a left lover. PLAYBACK; 11 ANGELS disconnects the staging and visualization from the story of the play and anchors itself in motifs of amorous deception and the incommunicability between beings.
