Noah

Noah tells a story of a conductor. His task is to direct a performance, reading from the score titled The Flood. Unfortunately, seeing what is ahead of them, the orchestra players are get scared to death and disappear. The conductor is left behind with the instruments and the disappointed audience. The situation forces him to take action and become an instrumentalist. He starts playing only to hear that the sounds and the words coming out of the instruments forecast the impending doom. The conductor is trying to postpone the inevitable with various tricks of his own device, creating new music and new history. The audience joins the game of pushing the end away. When Noah/Conductor have boarded the Ark, he starts the performance again with selected members of the audience. As the concert ends, Noah faces a dilemma… He leaves his wife and the animals on shore and sails on. The flood keeps on flooding and Noah keeps on flooding.
