Zoë Knights: "Drama Queen"

A Drama Queen is a person who creates drama from the most insignificant events; someone who exaggerates the importance of small details. Drama Queen - the attempt to immerse oneself in the drama of becoming variations of the queen, the drama, the drama queen. Drama Queen is a solo performance that seeks to deepen the connection between body light and sound. In its captivating final scene it aims at a quasi-filmic experience within the theatrical context.
