Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Ellie Stamp

A story becomes a truth by the amount of people who believe in it.

Belief is a choice we make.

I am the secret love child of Elvis.

This interactive performance explores Ellie’s lineage to Elvis Presley. With the help of her audience, visual imagery, music, laughter and game play Ellie examines our understanding of delusion and logic. She invites us to join her in this exploration of identity.

Are you lonesome tonight? is about our understanding of truth and lies. It’s about obsession. It’s about the space between delusional and imaginative thought. It examines our relationship to super stardom. It questions ideas about mental health and explores how choice applies to all of the above.

Ellie is co-founder and member of StampCollective, associate artists of Theatre Delicatessen. StampCollective explore polyvocal creation and collectivism.
