What the Stars Remember
An unfolding constellation of story, sound, memory and connection
In development in 2026 for presentation in 2027
A new creative world by Elise Romaszko
A rising tide of memory and imagination is gathering across stages, studios, and the spaces between. What the Stars Remember is Elise Romaszko’s most expansive work yet — an evocative performance installation weaving together sound, sculptural form, and lived experience into a tapestry that pulses with wonder, remembrance and collective breath.
Influenced by the rhythms of night skies and the quiet electric hum of human stories, this project explores what we hold in common, what we forget, and what rises back into presence when we listen close. It’s less a show with a beginning and end than a shared dream in motion — one that invites audiences to remember themselves as part of something wider, richer, and mysteriously connected.
The StoryA living constellation
Here, memory isn’t static. It vibrates through:
Sound that reverberates like stars shifting in the dark
Sculpture that feels like a body halfway between dream and constellation
Movement that tracks across time and place
Shared space where audiences and artists breathe, reflect, and respond together
Through these interwoven threads, What the Stars Remember becomes an experience that meets people where they are, and invites them into the deep pulse of collective imagination.
About Elise Romaszko
Elise Romaszko is a Hobart-based artist, performer, poet and emerging director whose multidisciplinary practice moves effortlessly between movement, sound, text and visual form.
A long-time collaborator with Second Echo Ensemble, Elise’s work is lyrical, bold, and grounded in embodied storytelling. She has appeared in and directed numerous SEE works and is now charting a new creative horizon with What the Stars Remember, a project born of curiosity, invitation and radical listening.
Why this matters
At SEE we believe art reshapes how we see ourselves, each other, and what might be possible next. This project turns that belief into a felt universe — one where memory maps itself in light, movement and sound, and where each encounter can open a path to connection and insight.
As this work continues to grow, What the Stars Remember will unfold through:
Creative labs and rehearsal sharings
Site-specific explorations
Community collaborations and storytelling circles
Visual and sonic installations
…all leading toward its first public encounters and invitations to audiences to engage, reflect and form their own constellations of meaning.

The Room Listened
I have a disability but I use it to my ability. What the Stars Remember is my work, and it comes from my imagination. At the Performing Lines residency I got to perform it and share it with other artists. I was with other artists, and my work mattered.
