About the event:
A young writer, consumed by an urgent desire to share his story before his time runs out, extends a daring invitation to a star, pleading for her guidance in writing his play. Plagued by mortality, he implores the star to break the unwritten laws that bind her and join him on Earth for three nights only.
Together, they piece together the fragments of the writer's tale, and the star's own story begins to emerge. A story in which she was once human too, and she knew the writer in a very different form. As their worlds begin to collide, and the writer desperately tries to heal his wounds, the star unearths how deeply her own humanity has scarred her.

An original play by Eleni Cosma
'Why do you humans never learn?'
'Maybe because the stars are just sitting there, watching it all.'
