Breath of Stars
February 19-23, 2025 – Main Stage
Written by Caridad Svich
Breath of Stars is about the spinning globe, a lost city of strings, electric dreams, and finding a lover again in the body of a stranger. Breath of Stars looks at the workings of memory through stories of love and loss in the contemporary world.
The play reconfigures Shakespeare’s Tempest for the digital age. A modern day Ariel has lost someone named Prospero, who is now only a picture in cyberspace. Another Ariel – perhaps a double or mirror image of the first – misses him too. As the Ariels move through spaces of loss, other worlds open up, revealing a haunting group of characters and stories, all tied together through the invisible bonds of technology.
“Caridad, weaves an alchemical combination of intellect, heart, and sensuality powerful enough to crack open the suffocating shell that builds up from the daily repetitions of life.”
Breath of Stars was developed at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI.
Breath of Stars is produced by special arrangement with the Playwright and Elaine Devlin Library, Inc., 1115 Broadway, 12th floor, New York, NY 10010.
