STARS: An Afrofuturist Space Odyssey

Winner of ‘Best New Play’ at the Offies 2024, STARS is the hilarious and moving new play celebrating Black Queer empowerment and arousal. Meet Mrs: an old lady who goes into outer space… in search of her own orgasm. Performed by one woman and a live DJ, with projected animations, travel with a woman in search of her lost orgasm, spanning across outer space, with dustings of African mythology and folklore in an unabashedly Queer, intersex and feminist rallying play. Featuring music by Sun Ra, Jamila Woods, Floating Points, and more. STARS: An Afrofuturist Space Odyssey is the critically acclaimed sensitive and joyful show about desire, touch and reclaiming your pleasure. Join us late night as the theatre transforms into a celebratory club night after the show on selected performances, with multiple DJs and accessible for all (18+). A “concept album on stage”, the experimental and expansive STARS is written by internationally acclaimed theatremaker, artist and Alfred Fagon award-winner, Mojisola Adebayo (Family Tree (Actors Touring Company), Moj of the Antarctic: An African Odyssey (Lyric Hammersmith), Muhammad Ali and Me (Ovalhouse), Oranges and Stones (Ashtar Theatre, Ramallah), Desert Boy (Albany Theatre), I Stand Corrected (Artscape, South Africa), The Interrogation of Sandra Bland (Bush Theatre), Wind / Rush Generation(s) (National Theatre) and Nothello (Coventry Belgrade).
