THOUGHTS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE END

By DEVIN BURNAM
Featuring music by MOLLY JENSON
Directed by CHRISTOPHER J. DOMIG

Fall 2021

After 400 days at sea, a lone mariner finally manages to reconnect with others. His mind has slipped into a nether realm of past, present, and future as he struggles to make sense of whether he is still adrift or has landed; whether he should stay aboard or depart into an altered world. Within the confines of his cabin, all realities - from biblical myths to futuristic post-human open mic nights - have become equally plausible. What lies beyond his cabin suggests he must choose to accept one reality.
