I have always been inspired by Jim Henson's film "Labyrinth" The film revolves around 15-year-old Sarah's quest to reach the center of an enormous otherworldly maze to rescue her infant brother Toby, whom Sarah wished away to Jareth, the Goblin King.
My idea for this piece was to take this story, written for a younger audience, and reimagine it for a more serious audience. Like how would Guillermo del Toro rewrite this as a film, or what about a Bible story? I decided this story needed more consequence.
