Wherefore Art Thou (2022)
'Wherefore Art Thou?' is an original reimagining of Romeo and Juliet's balcony scene— as seen through the eyes of an elderly Juliet and the young nurse who embraces her at the end of her life. Facing a surrealistic form of dementia, Juliet journeys through her memories, flowing through the same fleeting moment of heaven with Romeo, echoing throughout her life. Navigating the eternity of a moment, star-crossed lovers defy their tragic fate, the tides of time and even what it means to be together— forever.
