Mearra: Sci Fi Musical set on another planet with twin moons, shapeshifting characters, and a love story of two dream lovers who meet.

The musical begins with a ray of light in water. The ray becomes a ball of light. Then back to a ray and makes a slight glass bell sound as it moves.

Initially there is only the water and the light playing across an unlimited space. IUt seems that there is only water and light and in a sense, the void.

Then a twinkle of small light in distance. Then another. At first, they appear as stars in the cloudy night sky, obscured and then re-appearing. From few twinkles, to many. until there is a vast amount of small lights that twinkle as the the ray moves through the water.

In the soft light of the many ‘stars’ we see hints of villages, building structures, roads, and pyramids, 「a ref to yonaguni island」They appear as mist, somewhat translucent and soft. Ghosts. For a moment, it appears that there are creatures or persons moving through the streets and roads of the villages. Then they are gone and the village roads are empty. The ball/ray of light is curious and the closer it gets to the villages, the less it can see. It is being watched. It feels this way at least.

For a time, the ray of light moves across the floor of the sea, illuminating many colored fish, coral, jellyfish, and even octopus. The floor of the sea is alive with many creatures and in the distance, we see in shadow a vast whale creature and squid with pods of dolphins swimming in circles and curves.『editor note - the creatures are not exact dolphins or octopus, they are different slightly, having extra fins, more legs etc as it is a referral to Earth creatures, yet Mearra is not Earth 』

STORY

On an oceanic planet with two binary moons, a pearl diver named Kleito lives on an island with her daughter Minowin. Every day, Kleito collects pearls and stores her treasures in hidden rooms of her cliffside home. Every night, she dreams of a man whose eyes compel her with knowing, yet his face and body continually change form. She keeps these dreams secret from her lover Tane, a local fisherman with secrets of his own. At sea, Captain Áed travels by sun, stars, and moons through unknown waters, mapping the world of Mearra. Each night, he dreams of an ever-changing woman, yet her eyes remain the same.

One day, an unprecedented storm hits, sweeping the fisherman out to sea. Lightning strikes Aed's ship and sinks it. He falls into the churning depths. When the storm passes, Kleito stands at shore, scanning the waterfront, waiting for Tane to return. Instead, she sees a strange man floating in the waters. She rescues him, not recognizing Áed, her dream lover, as his eyes are closed as he is unconscious. As Kleito works to save this stranger's life, she wonders, who is he? And where is Tane?

In this saga of loss and love, each character must let go of what they treasure most, only to find the sea brings gifts beyond their wildest dreams.
