Norma Jeane Baker of Troy - Theatre
"The play is a tragedy. Now, watch closely how I saved it from pain."
What could Helen of Troy and Norma Jeane Baker, aka Marilyn Monroe, possibly have in common?
These are two world-famous female figures who constructed an image, an illusion, to ensure their survival. The gods hid Helen in Egypt, while Paris removed a cloud that resembled her. Norma Jeane built her own myth, Marilyn Monroe, the quintessential Hollywood star.
But could these two women be nothing more than illusions?
In any case, they are the object of desire. They trigger desires for domination and possession, and provoke wars. They are the most precious commodity, the casus belli, and the war trophy.
Anne Carson tells us the story of all women through these two legendary figures.
