Esteemed theatre director Michael Kantor, makes a genre-defying cinema debut – a metaphysical thriller that sees four men drawn into a dark cabaret of the soul. What happens when the stage becomes your world?
Four drifters find themselves lured into a vast playhouse, deep in the heart of the city. Taken in hand by the enigmatic leading lady, the men are plunged ever deeper into a labyrinth of jealousy, betrayal, violence and sex, dissolving the lines between desire and death.
Populated with Australia’s brightest lights of theatre, music and film(including PAUL CAPSIS, TIM ROGERS, MEGAN WASHINGTON, MARCO CHIAPPI and MARK  LEONARD WINTER) and a remarkable score that recalls the songs of the present and the past, Kantor’s film is a haunting ode to the magic of the stage and the visceral power of music.

Director Michael Kantor says of the film, “I wanted to capture the allure, excitement and madness of the stage, and in particular, its dangerous side: a theatre that devours its actors. “The film’s heart rests in the stories of these four men, entrapped by the theatre as both a physical and metaphysical space, all of them adrift in a sea of narcissism, loneliness and existential melancholia. They discover their overarching, deeply hidden desires on the stage. Each needs this platform to transcend their disillusionment and to discover a sense of completion, however fleeting it may be.”
