Contemporary punk opera "Through the Mirror, My Unseen Face"
Business Overview
The film is inspired by the novel "A Mirror in a Mirror: The Labyrinth" by German children's author Michael Ende. The words spun by the artists and the layered images that reside in them. The body that kept moving in order to draw and we who read it. By creating bricolage while echoing countless voices echoing around the world together with music, the drama of a person looking into a mirror is transformed into a fiction that reflects reality in a disorderly way.
When words are mirrored and superimposed, they begin to sound new in song. A contemporary punk opera that reweaves the world by the words of someone stuck between something!
