Meet Mrs: an old lady who goes into outer space... in search of her own orgasm. Isn’t that where all orgasms go?
Her quest is sparked by three encounters: a young neighbour who discloses a secret, an old friend who reveals she is intersex, and a would-be lesbian lover in a launderette who offers Mrs two drops of her own pressed lavender and a smile that says ‘I handle delicates with care’.
Told through one woman and a live DJ, with projected animation and captions, STARS is a moving and joyful, sensitive yet funny Afrofuturist odyssey that, on two late nights, transforms into a celebratory club night, with multiple DJs and accessible for all.
A ‘concept album on stage’, the hugely original STARS is the latest jewel from internationally acclaimed theatremaker, artist and Alfred Fagon award-winner Mojisola Adebayo. Previous works include Family Tree (ATC, Belgrade Theatre Coventry, and Brixton House 2023), Nothello (Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, 2022), Muhammad Ali and Me (2008 and 2016), I Stand Corrected (2012) and Moj of the Antarctic (2005) (Ovalhouse, London).
A Tamasha and ICA co-production.
