Lenore returns home to an unexpected visitor — a pigeon in her bedroom. Moments later, a phone call from her mother shatters the world: her father is in the Intensive Care Unit, oceans away. Time collapses. She must get to him. But will she make it in time?
When death arrives, it leaves a void that swallows everything. Memories resurface forcing her to confront the man he was, the bond they didn’t share, and the love left unspoken. In order to rebuild herself, Lenore embarks on a solitary journey through time accompanied by poetry and a mysterious doppelganger-pianist.
Blending live sound, movement, and immersive storytelling, The Sound of Absence is an exploration of loss, memory, and the way music becomes our companion in grief.
