An abstracted story of four astronauts, and their wish to become more than human. Made in reaction to upcoming plans to colonize Mars, and inspired by encounters with the ‘Overman’ throughout history. “Cydonia: Marsiah” investigates identity and humanity, in a metaphysical story of home, nurture, fear, and longing.
