A narcissistic, idiosyncratic tutor teaches a homeschooled teenager creative writing over Zoom. When the student’s short stories reveal an unusually repressed worldview, he starts to suspect something may be wrong. But is that real— or itself just a convenient fantasy?

In this two-person performance, creators Walker Caplan and Matt Romein use and abuse the conventions of confessional monologue theater while using video game engines to puppet emotive 3D avatars, aided by PowerPoint presentations and live camera feeds. Fantasies are corrupted by hijacked imaginations, bodies are mediated through digital boundaries, and emotions are misinterpreted again and again and again. Still, no hard feelings. 

Castle Door examines both the guaranteed failure and absolute freedom of saying something true.
