Description
A haunting and unsettling gothic take on a Greek tragedy, The Doloriad is a powerful debut from Missouri Williams. Set in a world ravaged by environmental disaster, the story follows the Matriarch and her family as they cling to existence on the edges of a ruined city. As they struggle to survive, the family's perceptions are warped by their desperate situation, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Their only respite comes from watching old VHS tapes of a medieval problem-solving saint, offering a fleeting sense of logic and ethics in a world gone mad. With virtuosic intensity, Missouri Williams crafts a nightmarish vision that is both beautiful and unbearable to watch. This is a gripping exploration of humanity's treatment of women and the true cost of survival at all costs.
