Tales from Cazilor is an original concept album by Naethan Apollo, that mixes both his love for music and  his love of fantasy storytelling. With his permission, I took his incredible work and created a stage production that allows the audience to be further immersed his Naethan's fantasy world. 

This is the story of the young girl Apalla, a brave recruit, and her hard-headed squad mate Arthur. They both have their first night shift of the year where they protect their town from danger with their Captain supervising them. Throughout the night, each one of them shares their fondest memory. Through their shared experiences of loss, hope, and resilience, they discover that despite their differences they all share the same passion for humanity and sense of duty.

My adaptation of Naethan’s story remains faithful to his original work, with minor adjustments, including the exclusion of two songs for the sake of time and modifications to gender roles, resulting in a predominantly female cast. I am deeply grateful to Naethan for granting me this opportunity and allowing me to bring his story to life on stage. 

Even though we’re a small group, we’ve put our hearts into this, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created.
