Introduction

What starts out as a girl's quest for her younger brother rapidly decends into a sinister journey of the soul, as the protagonist travels through a bizzarre labyrinth of fact and fiction. This ensemble piece explores the role of ordinary people in a war-torn world through the disjointed memories of one girl, and embraces history, fantasy, song, dance and Greek drama to name a few.
