A princess, who’s been locked away in a tower, has to wait until “freed” by her prince charming.
What sets her apart, is her will to refute all she’s ever been told:
Can one be enough to oneself ?
Growing up alone, the princess is unwittingly caught between her childhood and womanhood.
After spending years on top of overlapping endless stones;
Her greatest wonder: the earth, her greatest dream: to feel it beneath her feet.
Her desire to feel the ground awakened her everlasting sleeping, existential agony.
Once's poetic integrity, consists of performative motifs such as; time, loneliness, desire, indecision, doubt and self.
var-mış was produced by VOID
