To the Death

To the Death reveals the psyche Scarlett as she attends a performance at The Club, a surreal cabaret. Giving herself a Tarot reading, Scarlett manifests The Club out of thin air and instigates the patrons into action. Drawing on the principles in Jungian psychology where all the characters in our dreams are aspects of our own psyche, the odd and unusual patrons in The Club, as well as the performers backstage and on stage represent different aspects of Scarlett's psyche, personified. A dark character, Raven, represents Scarlett's shadow-self trying to surface. He attempts to follow her into the Club but is denied entry. Finding a backstage entrance he sneaks in, eventually making his way to Scarlett. When she catches a glimpse of him reflected in her compact mirror she is startled and turns to face him, but finds he has disappeared... or perhaps he was never really there.
