Choosing to leave her physical life on Earth, Liv arrives at a beautiful garden gate, met by a crying fairy and an ancient caterpillar. She is unsure of how she came to be there, but having followed "the bird" she enters the gate. Waiting for her are eight dolls - living, breathing fragments of herself-each revealing a different truth she has tried to bury. Lurking in the shadows is "the bird"-a ravenlike creature that steals hearts that grow like delicate tomato plants in the beautiful garden. Threatening to scatter the pieces of Liv's identity before she can gather them, Liv must triumph over "the bird" and learn to truly move on.
The Original Score produced by Duane Lundy in collaboration with Jenny Fitzpatrick features 13 tracks complete with soundscapes and a reprise of themes.
