Crickets, It's Your Turn

“A diagnosis, not a prescription.”

Crickets, It’s Your Turn is a darkly absurd feminist parable in which a young photographer’s private theatre of imagination begins to invade reality. Merey enters a mountain house governed by hierarchy, male solidarity and the logic of the strongest. She follows another logic: beauty, play and creation. Through white-room tableaux, grotesque humour and deliberate ruptures between realism and theatre, an ordinary gathering becomes a study of collective complicity. The danger comes not from a single monster, but from reasonable men who protect one another until violence becomes ceremony.
