A Melody of Discontent

Xavier is possessed by a song that only he can hear. Kate is blinded by an idealised dream. When the birth of their son is tainted with unexpected tragedy, these new parents are forced to face a horrible truth about themselves and the world they live in. Using a variety of mediums such as live music, film and still image projection, A Melody of Discontent explores themes such as hopelessness, depression and anxiety, new parenthood, isolation and loss amidst a consuming, money hungry, media saturated society. This is a tune you won't forget, a theme song of modern life played with haunting precision.
