The titular V.V. Constellation consists of three stars - the three faces of Violetta Villas, the Mystery Woman, the "voice of the atomic era". The first one, Vivi, is Villas at the peak of her fame, internally conflicted, torn, trying to prove to the world that she is more than just an image created for the entertainment industry, more than a fetish. At the same time, Vivi escapes from the schemes into which the patriarchy tries to push women (the author describes, among other things, the arranged marriage into which Villas entered at the age of only sixteen). Czesia is Czesława Gospodarek, or Villas before her career begins - naive, hungry for attention, fascinated by glitter. The third heroine, the Catwoman, is a reference to the great love that the artist had for animals, but this character also represents the independent side of Violetta's personality ("We are similar to each other. Two lonely women. Independent. We hate opposition. With sharp claws. But when we want to, we can be sweet and lovable. When we purr, we are irresistible).
The action of the piece, takes place in the space of the stage ("a scene in a cabaret, a little dressing room, a little hotel room"), which has a special significance. It's important - the whole play is in fact a confession, and it takes place in the spotlight. In this reality, the whole life is a great performance subject to the strict judgment of the audience.
Villas, in her colorful outfits and bizarre wigs is an image, a concept that is hard to get away from. The real Violetta is still looking for herself, she wants to live a simple life, "alike St Francis", asking only for a bit of closeness and understanding. At the same time, she cannot find peace with herself.
"A doll's hair, doll's hands, doll's legs, doll's heart. A doll's heart - a brave heart. You want to drink words from my lips. You want to feel my hot breath. Please. That's what I'm here for. Toss a coin and watch me sing, watch me bend over for you. Repeated, studied movements. Perfect. You want to play with me again, you want to hear my voice again. The voice of the atomic era. My fortissimo that makes the chandeliers burst. The price I pay to be who I am is high. You can't cry, so I cry for you, I cry for you, I cry for you […]”.
From the very beginning, at important moments in her career, the artist is interrogated by the demonic Impresario, making accusations or complaining about her disobedience:
Violetta "never wanted to be a mother, never wanted to be a wife." What do we really know about her? - Alksnin seems to be asking. Villas is "a girl in a woman's body," "a bed full of hair," "an angel in a baroque painting." We see hundreds of paintings, but none of them even come close to the truth. The author works out the mechanisms governing the dictate of the image, tries to look at Villas with empathy, but does not claim the right to discover the whole truth about the darkness withing the V.V. constellation. The art is also inlaid with fragments of the artist's lyrics and reflects both the figure of the "star" and the mood of the era, moving towards the present. We see V.V. as a vivid creation and yet at the same time a shadow of a world-famous diva.
