Neptune
Neptune is a documentary cabaret in 12 chapters about the year 2022, when a playwright tried remembering love in a time of war.
“As the planet of unconditional love, your Neptune sign shows where you may suspend logic and dream as if anything were possible. Sometimes the visions are pure bliss; other times, they descend into nightmares.”
The year 2022 was shit. It dissolved the world from under MC’s feet with war, illness and displacement. But here they are, armed with memories, alternative realities and rewriting attempts – to see if there can actually be a happy ending for the queers.
