Stellar Cellar

 

_MG_4898

Stellar Cellar is a journey through a woman’s unconscious, an evocation of Dionysus and a radio talk show about wine.  As the host samples each wine, the landscapes of her memories are conjured: funnel cake and dippin dots on the boardwalk, monks in Macedonia, the loss of her virginity in the back of a honda civic.

Call in questions from listeners, a carpet salesman from beyond the grave and an apocalyptic traffic and weather report move her further into the inner layers of her psyche. Until finally a fox and bear appear revealing the sorrows of the animals, while the shade of Emily Dickinson guides her into the outer contents of the spirit filled world.
