Synopsis
A complex and disturbing play is staged in a theatre. The great stage setting creates a vertical space on which the characters move like birds.
The antagonist of this grand staging becomes increasingly unstable when the leading actor returns. The fall of the Ibis King updates a classic leitmotif of tragedy: the break-up of a love triangle. A short film that allows the spectator to experience a visionary immersion in the world of theatre, its archetypes, and its cruelties.
