“A tale of unrequited love, revenge, and eternal transcendence.”
This beautiful, lyrical, emotional piece examines the human condition as it grapples with both earthly and celestial concepts, as well as probing the nature of how far we are willing to go to achieve our desired result – and the consequences of those actions.
Set in a village in the bayou of Mississippi, a bayou legend focuses on the deadly revenge that Clothilde enacts on Bazile who does not return her expressions of love. When Clothilde discovers that Bazile has been in communication with Aurore, a spirit of the bayou, who identifies herself as Bazile’s lover from a former life, Clothilde threatens to have Bazile arrested for violating local religious customs. When Bazile continues to refuse to wed Clothilde, she arranges for an angry mob to have him lynched.

In his death throes, however, Bazile’s soul is at last united with Aurore, showing that love transcends time and space, while Clothilde lives out the remainder of her years as a bitter recluse.
