Seen and unseen worlds collide as Tsianina appears to William, the two learning from each other as he makes a decision about his future as an artist. Combining humour, drama, biography and contempora­ry opera, I Call Myself Princess explores the tension between representa­tion, inspiratio­n and cultural appropriat­ion.
