Black Lodge (2022)

Trapped in a nightmarish Bardo, a place between death and rebirth, a tormented writer faces down demons of his own making. Forced to confront the darkest moment in his life, he mines fractured and repressed memories for a way out. A woman is at the center of all the writer's afterlife encounters. She is the subject of his life's greatest regret, and she materializes everywhere in this Otherworld. The writer cannot detach any thoughts of his life from her. Loosely inspired by the complicated mythologies of writer William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch) and others, Black Lodge uses dance, industrial rock, classical string quartet, and opera to take viewers through a surreal, Lynchian escape room, and questions what it ultimately takes to face ourselves.
