BORNE: A New Musical by Max Suwarno incorporates themes of love, liberation and challenging tradition with a cast that is heavily represented by LGBTQIA+ characters and actors, and a plot with roots based in Slavic folklore. The music has elements of 80’s rock, but also incorporates an Eastern European sound. The tale of BORNE is set in turn-of-the-century Romania and follows young Omor on his journey to self-discovery, revealing his dark roots. Omor journeys into a forest beyond time and encounters vengeful witches, bloodthirsty Moroi, and a handsome prince who has found himself lost in time. This production of the musical is workshopped with six songs and four scenes.
This production includes suggested sexual assault, minor sexual innuendos and violent themes.
