Video Work: Documentation of "Mary Stuart" in Portuguese (1989)
Audio/Visual
"The Brazilian actress Denise Stoklos, in ''Mary Stuart,'' a one-woman show at La Mama, joins centuries of actors and writers who found the story of the Queen of Scottland who was beheaded over 400 years ago on Feburary 8th,1587. Ms. Stoklos's evocation of the Queen -abetted by recorded music by composers ranging from Milton Nascimento to Villa-Lobos, Brahms and Donizetti - is haunting, amusing and perplexing. Ms. Stoklos and Dacia Maraini, the Italian screenwriter and playwright who wrote the text of ''Mary Stuart,'' are more concerned with our perceptions of the Queen and our understanding of the perceptions of them by writers and composers than with the women themselves. And Ms. Stoklos's performance, partly spoken but primarily mimed, makes us question whether we really perceive anything." --D. J. R. Bruckner,
