A director races to finish his magnum opus, fearing what he’ll lose if he succeeds.

Full title: Kubrick’s Aryan Papers or How I Learned That I’m in Pain 24 Hours a Day
A cinematic multimedia performance based on fictional events surrounding Kubrick’s unfinished project.

A woman appears in vivid pink projection
Performers face one another across a black stage
A performer stands in a field of darkness
Two performers struggle in a pool of white light
A camera operator films a seated performer
A woman stands beside a dressmaker's mannequin
A performer advances through a narrow corridor of stage light
A woman kneels beside a mannequin on a checkerboard floor
