THE CURATOR

THE CURATOR
By Danny Matier

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE:

When a touring theater company are to perform at a remote art exhibition, it quickly becomes evident they are to be the bloody tableau in an art instillation held for a very select audience who want more than just to watch them die.

SYNOPSIS:

Tim is the artistic director and owner of Tuskers Traveling Troupe. A small theatre company on the verge of bankruptcy. When the opportunity arises to perform for the benefit of a group of ultra-rich art patrons; the troupe embraces the exposure and the money.

The audience they are performing for are very rich and part of a sect that worship the Three Fates. This is something they don’t hide from the troupe as they are welcomed at the old convent, they are to perform in. Mike, the company stagehand doesn’t like the set up. He’s suspicious of these people and the ceramic faces protruding from the walls give him the jitters. He tries to tell Tim of his feelings and that he feels something is off but is shut down as Tim has already spent the money.

The acting trope soon discover their rich patrons have a very specific taste in entertainment and it isn’t their play the audience are interested in but rather, it’s their terror, as they’re hunted over the course of the evening by several characters, notably, The Juggler who juggles human bones, Black Widow and her poisoned fangs, the Stilt Walker, and the Woodsman. When caught, they will be forced to play the arcane stone wheel, placing their lives into the hands of the Fates as they choose a number. If they win, they’ll be set free, but if they lose; they will be turned into living works of art to be displayed in the homes of the sect.

Every year on the Winter solstice, a group of the young and talented become the new installation of The Curator. Only this year, one of them will win the spinning of the wheel.
