'Only What Remains Is Beautiful' is a uniquely layered, absurdist tale about redefining loneliness.A barefaced and babbling charge into the fog of social trauma and its presence in identity. Imagine a soothsayer. A Tiresias sort of character.They've got all the cosmic wisdom that everyone craves.But they've also got that eccentric awkwardness that no one can tolerate for a second. Now imagine a day when this soothsayer steps out of their cave to discover that The Apocalypse has happened... And they slept through the whole thing!More alone than ever before, our soothsayer sets out on a journey. Where? They haven't the foggiest.Why? They're...still working that out.To find what, exactly? Someone! ANYONE! Just. One. Other. Human.Because despite this empty planet, the soothsayer can still hear voices...Echoes amidst the rubble...In this hour-long real-time anecdote, you will be taken on a desperate, bewildered and soul-building pilgrimage to the very literal ends of the earth.Think 'Fleabag' meets Samuel Beckett meets a post-apocalyptic walking simulator video game.'Only What Remains Is Beautiful' is the perfect story for when you didn't get the memo about the world ending.
