Stage Fright

An old vaudeville theater serves as the central setting, with the stage and orchestra pit acting as the arena for performance, confrontation, and revelation. The decayed venue amplifies the tension between past artistry and present treachery. The space becomes a liminal backdrop where the living and the spectral elements of the story collide.
