Theatrical adaptation and staging by Michael Hidetoshi Mori

What happens when you can’t let go of lost love?

A heartbroken woman embarks on a hauntingly beautiful journey, experiencing the love stories of different people in a desperate search for her lost love.

Synopsis

After the death of her beloved who was a dancer and the love of her life, a woman is in denial about her loss. Desperate to see her love again, she creates her own ritual, combining treasured remembrances with symbolic ingredients. In a remote clearing in the woods she attempts to channel the supernatural and bring him back. Her “spell” is anchored by the words, “I love you” recited in every language in the world. To her surprise, as she lights a circle of candles, she begins to vividly relive what seem to be her memories of their life together. Her lover appears as a sound, as a shadow, with every vision moving closer to her. As the visions intensify, the woman realizes that they are not all her stories, but the stories of others that somehow parallel hers, but with him always as the lover. But with every candle, every vision… there is a cost.
