A woman trapped in theatre codes, provokes her existence and initiates a game between fiction and reality. A dance theatre performance inspired by the character, played by Melina Mercouri in the Greek movie “STELLA”. On the edge between dance and theatre, Melina, the performer, exploits her expressive and corporal virtuosities and creates emotions and images in the spectator. The M of Melina becomes the Σ of Στέλλα (stella), becomes the W of Woman.
