Synopsis of Dunya:
We carry with us the burden of ’me’. It defines our being and we see the world through its eyes. Akasha, Salomon, and Eco find themselves in a new place, the final destination. There is a force that draws them in, and they have no choice but to surrender. They need to leave behind their identities and let go of the stories that define them in order to find the spaciousness that rests behind the ego.

Two Worlds synopsis:
Sometimes it feels like a greater force is guiding you through life. Oftentimes it’s only a fantasy, but sometimes the surrounding magic is real. Two Worlds is a musical journey to the human condition, depicted from the perspective of three individuals who are trying to overcome obstacles in their minds. First, they will have to come to peace with who they are in order to let go of the ego. But what is behind the momentum of life? Is existence random in its nature or are events predetermined?
