CONSTELLATIONS intertwines love, fate, and quantum mechanics as Marianne and Roland’s relationship shifts across parallel universes. This non-linear narrative delves into the complexity of existence, prompting reflection on the interconnectedness of our choices and the infinite possibilities of the cosmos.

“…a singular astonishment, at once eloquent and mysterious but which nonetheless articulates within its own idiosyncratic idiom something that touches an audience as real…a wholly satisfying and complete emotional journey…The well-judged dialogue, at once terse and trenchant, finds its own characteristic poetry.”
— The New Yorker
