Final Space tells the original story of a young woman, beckoned out of her lucid dream state by a malfunctioning dream sucking machine. Her lucid dreams transform into mouths that start commanding her moves. Her arms and head grow and shrink. The moon unfolds and reveals itself in abstractions and taunts. Through puppetry, optical illusions, performance and video, the story unfolds about a woman who abandons her oppressive technological world, only to land on an inhospitable moon landscape. It is there that she must meditate and use rudimentary flash cards to re-imagine a world that contains warmth, home, friendship, and hope.
