Identity V STAGE Episode 6 [The Abyss of Art]

Directed by Go Mikai

With Kodai Miyagi, Aya Uchida, Kohei Tanaka, Kazushi Maruyama and Karen Sakura

A recurring four-against-one game of “tag” at the manor. It was a stage with no final act, where neither survivors nor hunters could escape, each carrying their past and their desires. Edgar, a painter newly invited to the manor, finds himself in the midst of this life-or-death game, where he encounters raw inspiration that shakes him to his core. Facing him is Galatea, a sculptor who ceaselessly seeks her “perfect self” and is obsessed with a maddening ideal. The encounter between these two artists shines an even deeper light on the darkness within each of them. Will they ultimately seize what they desire? Or— will they sink into the abyss of art?
