Loom

written by Carolynne Wilcox 

directed by Cristin J. Hubbard

The Story:

The Three Fates, the timeless sisters who’ve woven, measured and cut the threads of the lives of mortals have done their duties throughout time. Hermes, the Messenger God, pays them a visit just as they realize Atropos’s shears have gone missing. It’s been forbidden for them to jump into the dreams of mortals, but suddenly they must, before the dead literally begin to rise on earth. A lyrical journey through contemporary dreams, the god realm and the underworld containing themes of loss, domestic issues and climate change.
