Synopsis

Strangers meet all the time, in all kinds of places. A simple encounter can blossom into friendship, ignite a steamy romance, seal a once-in-a-lifetime business deal or even unravel into conflict.

 

What could possibly unfold when muted characters in larval masks meet in a hospital? Don’t miss this hilarious yet moving non-verbal mask performance—an exploration of what happens when strangers meet.
