Fever Dream

Synopsis

A weary actor wakes inside a featureless black box, only to discover he is the audience to his own performance. As he chases the shifting contours of self and stage, the box folds in on itself: a theatre without exits, a dream without waking. Time stutters, space dissolves, and the performance consumes the performer.
