ECHO
“Maybe I'm selfish, like all the other artists. And maybe I was just becoming the person he
wanted me to be- and all I'll ever be is a lover. But let's be real: we all want to be a lover.”
Echo and Narcissus relive the story of their relationship, starting from when they first share a look in a club called the Pathless Woods. Set in a world between today and Ancient Greece, Echo and Narcissus navigate what it means to be an artist, a lover and a human being in a selfish world.
