That she’s named after a 19-line poem structure that has its roots in
16th-century Italian dance is curious. But the villanelle, five tercets
capped by a quatrain, has often been a vehicle to express obsession and
intensity, as it was for poets like Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath. And
as the show proceeds, Eve and Villanelle become progressively obsessed
with one another, lured into ever more dangerous territory by the
knowledge that they’re hot on each other’s trails. So hot, in fact, that
before they even officially meet one has stolen the other’s scarf.
No termina de parir el cielo.
