The set is clean and empty; it is a blank canvas. There are plain colours on stage, whether it be just a white light, or a light blue. There is someone on stage. They are not female; nor are they male. They just are. This is THE CHARACTER.
THE CHARACTER is in a limbo of sorts. THE CHARACTER did not mean to pass away -- they did not want to pass away. The mystery to the audience, however, is how did THE CHARACTER pass away. All we know, as the audience, is that the character is not ready to come to terms with this moment of their lives (or, at least, the aftermath of their lives).
The format of the show is revealed; Dancers in glass boxes which tell the varying emotions in this person 's mind. The major lighting is minimal. When used, it is focused on the dancers, and it is only to explain both the mood of THE CHARACTER and the scene. THE CHARACTER is confused; they are mad, angry, but also strangely calm. …show more content…
This is when they notice a box. It is strange how ordinary it appears. There is something bizarre about the fact that there is a single, unopened box in the middle of this empty space.
THE CHARACTER opens the box, leans in, and falls, à la Alice in Wonderland. They fall into the story of our two characters, NOVEMBER and REON.
These are the lives of two very unique people on very different walks of life: NOVEMBER, now blind after a party-gone-wrong (her sense of sound has been raised and it 's all just noise), and REON, who is suffering from gender dysphoria.
NOVEMBER 's FRIENDS have become annoyed with how NOVEMBER is reacting to this new darkness. They tell her to deal with it and to not to let these obstacles in her life stop her from doing what she loves.
NOVEMBER, consequently, is dragged to a local masquerade party. NOVEMBER is trying to forget everything when she meets REON, who has not yet transitioned. They begin to connect with one another in a way they never thought possible. One day, they lose contact. NOVEMBER is heartbroken and is back to her old ways, until her senior year, two years later. A strangely familiar voice transfers to NOVEMBER 's school, who to her surprise, is also named REON. They, too, begin to become very close: REON happy that their relationship has rekindled, NOVEMBER happy that she found someone else to forget about the old REON. They both slowly fall in love. REON realizes that NOVEMBER does not know they are the same person. As REON goes through attempts of convincing NOVEMBER that they are the same person, NOVEMBER slowly reveals her true self to the audience, abusive colours and all. Alarmingly, THE CHARACTER finally moves from the corner since watching these events (very much like a Pensieve from Harry Potter). They try to rescue REON to no avail. This is when the audience and THE CHARACTER realize that they cannot make contact with anyone in the memories. As THE CHARACTER is freed from the memory, after a particularly cruel beating from NOVEMBER, THE CHARACTER takes a moment to think about what actually just happened. The DANCERS (which were previously hinted to the audience as THE CHARACTER 's emotions), begin to grow hectic and THE CHARACTER 's very own mind is thrown into another chapter. This is the story of a man named ALEC who is slowly throwing away his values. His girlfriend, CARAH, is revealed to be a narcopath. ALEC is still in love, therefore, he eventually loses himself and feels trapped in a cage - literally and figuratively hopeless. ALEC suddenly catches sight of THE CHARACTER outside the cage and begs for them to free him. THE CHARACTER isn 't sure what to do, but ALEC yells a slight octave too loud. Suddenly, CARAH walks into the room and THE CHARACTER is sent out of the memory. THE CHARACTER begins to try and piece this case together. As THE CHARACTER begins realizing what 's going on, ALEC, NOVEMBER, CARAH, and REON appear. They explain to THE CHARACTER how they are all one person -- the past lives of THE CHARACTER, in fact. This shows THE CHARACTER that they can both be stereotypically 'good ', but also 'bad '. They can suffer, but can also be suffering
