miach & airmed

Picture
What will the United States of America feel like at the turn of the 22nd century, when climate change and our proactive responses to it have radically changed the way that we live? What does it mean to live in a future that is decolonizing itself, in an era of healing the wounds that capitalism has left behind? 

Into this time were born two siblings, from different ancestries and from different parts of the country, each becoming respected and successful healers in the state renamed the Dawn Land. As the Third Constitutional Convention approaches, Miach and Airmed are caught in a political conflict when they use their art to heal the American Prime Minister after a traumatic assassination attempt. Succeeding where conventional medicine failed, a doctor's jealousy sets to challenge their skills. Thus, the siblings find themselves at the center of a struggle between modernism and the re-enchanted world that has arisen to replace it. ​

Inspired by an ancient Irish myth, this is a fable of how American society might fall in love with the world again through reconnection to the Land and to our healing traditions.
