The rehearsal room becomes a site of intense debate. Despite their differences, they choose collaboration over separation. Through their stalemate and compromise, they discover that their disagreements are creating a new form of theatrical storytelling. The process evolves beyond a simple adaptation of “I Am the Wind” into a live experiment on communication and misunderstanding. Ultimately, their four distinct perspectives interweave, echoing the play’s core questions: Is genuine human connection possible? And can we find a way to resist nihilism?
