Tzimtzum by Shea Bilé

:╪: About :╪:

Through the vehicle of melancholy, melody, and poetic discourse, Tzimtzum is a theatrical and musical Sendak-inspired Qlipothic journey of a man’s progressive deconstruction through the desolate landscape of the divine. Tzimtzum tells the story of one who destroys himself in a desperate search for the divine and for redemption in a world that he must transcend beyond, even if it means a final and complete death.

As he traverses through a desolate landscape of steel and stone he becomes disenfranchised with the burdensome conventional concept of the Infinite. Upon embracing this revelation, he reverses his inherited fear of Darkness and the monsters the world has created to enslave him. With a renewed sense of empowered defiance, he seeks to surround himself with those same monsters in order to command them within himself and realizes that the more he plunges into the void, the closer he is to becoming god...

By following a path that leads him through unbridled power, melancholic and painful love, and a solemn and final death, he is finally able to free himself and join the absolute darkness into the great beyond.
