The Merman is a magical-realist romantic tragedy that dissects the role of fear and hope in dictating our actions. It asks, what would it take to turn to cannibalism, and uses this as a provocation to interrogate how fascism takes root, examining the human capacity for violence, the cycle of fear it perpetuates, and the myths used to justify it.
