Gaitkrash&lsquo\;s \;Killing Stella \;is a show that challenges the boundaries of theatre\, sound\, image and choreography with a stellar text and cast. You will be amused\, baffled\, moved\, disturbed &ndash\; possibly all at the same time! &ndash\; and guaranteed a show that will linger long after you&rsquo\;ve left the theatre.
\n\nStella is dead\, the funeral is over and Anna&rsquo\;s husband\, Richard\, has taken the children to his mother&rsquo\;s for the weekend. Alone at last\, Anna has two days ahead of her to make sense of the catastrophe that ensues when she takes the 19-year-old Stella into her home. She can&rsquo\;t help the baby bird shrieking in the garden for its mother\, but she could have helped Stella. Killing Stella is inspired by Marlen Haushofer&rsquo\;s compelling novella Wir tö\;ten Stella (Austria\, 1958)\, an unflinching story of collusion in abuse\, and the price that has to be paid for remaining silent.
\n\nIn keeping with \;Gaitkrash&rsquo\;s signature exploration across art forms to create cutting-edge theatre\, the performers\, Bernadette Cronin (actor) and Eimear Reidy (cello)\, create a multi-layered language of performance to tell this story of the subtle abuse of a powerless young woman\, the trauma of teenage pregnancy\, and the damage that unfolds when the witness remains silent. Original composition\, visual aesthetic\, movement and monologue are interwoven to form a finely-tuned and tightly spun tapestry.
