Languages are carried beyond words, in a glance, a game, or a ritual. Through a disintegrating tongue and a capella songs, we think about the nature of communicating and try to narrate ourselves back to life. Cinema becomes a space to understand survival, selfhood, and alterity. Here, storytelling is an act of relation, and an image speaks the patient language of care.
In this docu-fiction short, a group of community theater actors create a casino through a sense-memory workshop and explore the workshop’s effect on their own histories, imaginations, and performances.
