Where All the Stars Have Disappeared, Along With the Ideas They Carried
The stars have vanished from flags, military emblems, and religious beliefs.
In a world where even the memory of constellations fades—B-612, the Pioneer plaque, the Scorpion from the Midnight Train in the Milky Way—a time traveler emerges from the shadows, bearing the scars of successive wars, forgotten tongues, and visions of a silent sky.
In this space wrapped in paper—between tomb and archive—he tells his story.
His limbs disjointed, his voice drowned out by explosions, he dies again and again.
Until the day he understands: what he has summoned from the clamor of memories is called “forgetting.”
This performance explores a world without stars, where war, esotericism, and human impulses collide. Through a symbolic mise-en-scène, it questions the blurred boundaries between joy and sorrow, between individual memory and collective myths.
The project is grounded in a study of flags as political symbols, in order to challenge the geographical, historical, and social constructions of identity.
Through the language of occult signs, it weaves connections between the real world and a dreamlike universe, where angels lose their heads, and stars are born from the ground.
It is a tribute. It is a summoning.
When forgetting becomes the language of the world, how do we remember the shape of a star?
