Selene
“There’s stuff inside us. Wild stuff inside us.”
SELENE is a radical explosion of an ancient myth.
It’s about how we grow up living defined by our bodies, and about what happens when that changes.
A young girl is watching the moon landings on repeat, entranced by those astronaut’s weightlessness.
A bunch of teenagers are swimming under a lunar eclipse, lost in what might happen next.
A mis-matched couple are watching a horror film at a drive in cinema, about to break apart.
