The Other Side
Another musical by the Lizardry pair, Yuri and Paul. Osten is a internet super fan but afraid to leave his own apartment. He lives a vicarious life through Marika, a Euro- pop star. But when Marika apparently dies he finds himself in an emotional vacuum. The musical is a story of freedom, obsession and love in a post truth age. What's it really like on the other side?
