Paradise Roulette jr.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Amsterdam, a city full of diversity, hidden stories, and anonymity, the story unfolds in the oppressive setting of a single room. In this room, two characters constantly encounter each other, their emotions, and desires. Versions of themselves meet in the past, present, and future. As time passes, they are confronted with their deepest fears and desires, leading to an intriguing journey of self-discovery and connection with each other.
Not only does the city serve as a backdrop, but also constitutes an important second layer. What's the reason behind your presence in the city? Is it to escape? Is it an attraction? Is it the search for a home? Searching in the room, in the other person, in yourself, in the past.

The music will serve as a guide, featuring carefully composed pieces and existing songs that emphasize the passage of time and repetition. The original compositions will reflect the emotional journey of the characters, while existing songs will enhance the atmosphere and emphasize the themes, creating an immersive experience where music shapes the soul of the story.
Paradise Roulette jr. embodies the search for happiness, identity, and connection, as the characters navigate the unpredictable game of life, fueled by desire and uncertainty. Hoping to find their own paradise amidst the swirling force of fate.
