The tragedy of Cassandra, who was given the gift of prediction by the god Apollo, but cursed by no one to believe her words, and the modern scientist Sandra, who tries to convey her research results on climate change in a novel stand-up comedy, but her earnest appeal is not accepted by the audience and she feels more lonely. This is a story of the overlapping fates of two timeless people, Sandra and Cassandra. The theme of the film is the crisis of nature and human cultural heritage and the importance of listening deeply, and the tragic ending of Sandra's lover Blake, an environmental activist, illustrates the seriousness and difficulty of the issue. Foklur's music clearly distinguishes between myth and modernity, and together with its mystical expression, the work strongly appeals to listeners. The chorale \"Oh how vain, how empty\" from Bach's Cantata No. 26 is quoted at the end of the piece. Kazushi Ohno, the Monet Theatre, and the singers delve deeply into the spirituality of this work, and their powerful performances are also very much worth listening to.\n\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuga Libera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51431697449249,"sku":"4589538821777","price":339.0,"currency_code":"MOP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538821777.jpg?v=1751196161","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mo\/products\/4589538821777","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
