Panacea
by Lauren Leppke
Panacea follows a story of a young woman dealing with grief in her life. As Maia struggles with this, she explores a variety of different coping mechanisms. Which ones define her? Which ones work? Through this we see a physical manifestation of grief and experience just what might be going on inside her head. This play of suspense and horror takes an inward turn asking the question, what does our own grief look like?
