Fractured Follies

In a world where societal norms are dictated by a surreal council of performance artists, a disillusioned accountant stumbles upon a hidden speakeasy that stages 'fractured' versions of classic musicals. He finds himself drawn into their subversive world, challenging his own rigid views and the very fabric of the city's manufactured reality.

The distinctive, clunky choreography for the 'Accountant's Anthem' sequence was deliberately designed to reflect the protagonist's rigid personality, with lead actor Sterling Price reportedly practicing the steps for weeks in his office after hours.
