Inspired by the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, a young man and a young woman are each locked in two adjoining rooms, in a story of love seen through fear — fear of abandonment and of commitment.
Picked by Margot
The scouts
Two minutes of lovers separated by walls should be maudlin, but instead it's genuinely strange — the formal constraint becomes subversive, turning a myth everyone knows into something that refuses easy catharsis or resolution.
A measured, formally precise reimagining of Pyramus and Thisbe that understands the classical source material deeply enough to distill it into pure spatial and emotional geometry; the restraint is the entire argument.
The decision to stage intimacy through architectural separation rather than proximity — making the wall the actual subject instead of the obstacle — is the kind of single formal choice that transforms a two-minute piece into something that lingers.
