The Ruins
About capitalism and love — and about imagining other ways of organizing society. Live action role-play and song are used to conjure new worlds from the ruins of the existing one. In the story, we meet a group of beings who have created their own alternative society. Each of them brings their own melody, and together they try to find a shared song that they can sing and pass on to future generations.
