Welcome to the legendary Nigredo Hotel, In alchemy, nigredo, or blackness, means putrefaction or a bizarre, macabre and astonishing operatic thriller decomposition. Many alchemists believed that as a first step by Nic Gotham and Ann-Marie MacDonald. in the pathway to the philosopher’s stone, all alchemical As you will see, it is the story of an encounter between a beautiful ingredients had to be cleansed and cooked extensively to a but crazed woman who runs a shoddy hotel, and a brain surgeon uniform black matter.

It is safe to say that Sophie is certainly not your standard hotel owner – if she ever was one at all.

9 10 SYNOPSIS

We see Sophie, proprietor of a remote and rundown hotel, preparing Room 7. Meanwhile, Raymond, a brain surgeon, is driving home from work, singing about his childhood musings.

Midnight. Raymond, stranded by an accident, arranges for a night’s lodging at Sophie’s hotel. Raymond is confused about the events of the evening up to this point – had he hit someone with his car? Raymond is confronted by Sophie’s bizarre hotel rules: not being given a key and charging for in-house calls. She seems to be overly friendly and claims to be afraid of dying, asking Raymond to cure her. He advises her to take two aspirin and sends her out. Obsessing about the accident, Raymond recalls different versions of what may have happened. He tries to block the door to prevent further interruptions from Sophie, who seems to have full access to his room. Preparing for bed, Raymond is startled when Sophie gains access despite his efforts, bringing his unwanted ‘leftover’ dinner before leaving again. Upon her next return, Sophie collapses, forcing him to listen to her heart. When he dismisses her again, she sings an all-too-familiar song, recalling childhood fears. She leaves, but the conversation about his fear of baths continues, with responses from the distance. Much to Raymond’s annoyance, the radiator starts to overheat, and as he tries to solve the situation, he begins to panic and seems trapped in his room. While trying to negotiate his release with Sophie he is led back to his childhood where he recalls how he related to his parents. A child’s voice emerges, but this time it seems to be coming from within the room. The voice claims to have seen Raymond earlier that evening on the road. As he submits to his past, Sophie breaks through and comforts him with wisdom among seven scarlet pillars of light. As they sing of his youth, Sophie and Raymond find a profound connection resulting in a duality of being.
