ASYMPTOTE

An ASYMPTOTE is a line that approaches a curve but never touches. It is a metaphor for the five characters who encounter each other, yearn to be close to each other, but are unable to touch.

A mathematician seeks out to have an affair, unhappy in her marriage. A businessman searches for true intimacy, after only blindly pursuing success. An exotic dancer struggles to be accepted for his gender identity. A singer-songwriter strives for validation, conscious of how others see her. A theremin player strains to remedy their stagnant relationship.

Each character encounters one after the other like a relay race. Yet we do not see how their stories end, left to wonder if they’ll ever achieve these desires.
