Written from the perspective
of a nine year-old girl, “The World is Round” explores
the complex interplay of the language of Gertrude Stein with an
infantile vocabulary. The aesthetic is a cubistic diction playing
with fractured morsels of babbled words and images expressing a
turbulent imagination. In search of her own identity, Rose discovers
a magical and infernal circle of the world. “A rose is a rose
is a rose is a rose….” |

The
labyrinth of images created by Stein compliments the poetics of
movement of corporeal mime. The play creates a dialogue between
the real and the imaginary, the internal and external worlds,
through variations of simple elements. As both the sculptor and
the sculpture, the play exposes this paradox of reality.
