Phthora is the second part of the immersive demi-opera Phauna, a mytho-poetic triad. In this contemporary fable, the fungal kingdom, the synapses of the Earth, has taken over the planet, and Phthora manifests as a bio-technological entity that infects matter with an ordered, logical, and rational intelligence.
The perfection of order stagnates. Still water festers.
