Synopsis
Characters on the cusp of self-realization unwittingly collide with elements of the fantastic–stray killers, beach ghosts, bed ghosts– and find their personal trajectories irrevocably altered. Long Island Dreamer evokes a doo-wop sound (four voices accompanied only by an electric Bass). “Are there any Long Island dreamers out there?” asks Amana del Ray, after a stranger of unknown intention appears at the window…In Red Tide, Lutece, a boy of 15 returns to a beach, ostensibly in search of a lifeguard who saved him from drowning a decade previously. In truth, however, he has been drawn there, like a moth to a flame, by a mystical power he cannot explain to his friend, a hopelessly earthbound clod whose name, aptly, is Worm… Like an un-sanitized German Fairy tale, Lamentations is a dark psychodrama where aberrant sexuality and corrosive envy reveal the deeper scripts of ordinary lust and desire.
