Synecdoche, new york
PERSONAL PROJECT
THE END IS BUILT INTO THE BEGINNING
Theatre director Caden Cotard struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he creates a life-size replica of New York City inside a warehouse as part of his new play. Caden casts actors as characters from his own life to live out his moment-to-moment mundanity with meticulous precision. Each frame explores themes of death, destruction, decay, and the eventual unraveling of health, family, infrastructure, and love.
