asprakounelia (Ghost Train)

A girl… Maybe a doll?
…pulls her guests into a little black house… Her room of games?
Voices…in a black hole…
The invited-voyeurs attend conversations and stories of a brother and sister locked in their house and the raid of a seductive and evil stranger…
Or maybe they’re assisting in the nightmares of these siblings?
Or maybe finding themselves in front of their own nightmares?
Yet, maybe it has to do only with a house of ghosts?
And what if this is all someone else’s nightmare?
…If the audience was catapulted into someone else’s mind?
Or maybe it’s a theatre of marionettes who are cleverly manipulated by a perverse puppeteer…
The dark… Ghostly, ethereal, unreal apparitions… Ghostly presences…
Memories… Materialized nightmares… The worst monster of childhood nightmares…
Is it a mask?… What does it hide?
