"A famous artist faces a powerful enemy who, driven by envy, strips him of everything—and this is only the beginning of envy’s manifestation."

SYNOPSIS:

Theme: "Not everything can be done alone."

Anti- theme: "Everything can be done alone." (First and Second Act)

Jazz Mannigan is a one-of-a-kind performer, a true "man-orchestra." Blessed with the ability to imitate and improvise any sound, Jazz wows audiences with his uncanny talent, blending everyday noises into symphonies of chaos and humor. His mastery of sound is unmatched, making him a global sensation—and drawing the jealous gaze of a sinister figure.

Enter Silentus Mute, a powerful sorcerer consumed by envy of Jazz’s gift. Silentus believes that true power lies in absolute control of sound and silence, and Jazz’s free-spirited improvisation represents everything he despises. One fateful night, after one of Jazz’s electrifying performances, Silentus approaches him in disguise. With a single touch of an enchanted quill to Jazz’s hand, Silentus robs him of his voice and his legendary gift.

Devastated and wandering the streets in silence, Jazz stumbles upon a church. There, he meets Father Saymon, a kind-hearted priest, who notices Jazz’s distress. Unable to speak, Jazz breaks into tears and gestures for help. Saymon blesses Jazz, crosses his mouth, and prays over him. Miraculously, Jazz regains his ability to speak. Grateful, Jazz explains what happened, and Saymon promises to help him. Saymon asks Jazz to return the next day.

The following day, Jazz finds the church abandoned, and Saymon is missing. After inquiring, he discovers Saymon’s home address. When Jazz arrives, he finds the doors broken, the house ransacked, and soon the police arrive, accusing Jazz of the crime. Silentus, watching from a nearby car, laughs triumphantly. Jazz is eventually released but returns to Saymon’s house to search for answers. Among the wreckage, he finds religious texts.

Determined, Jazz begins studying and praying at the church. Two days of fervent prayer and devotion restore his gift of sound imitation. Meanwhile, Silentus notices his own tongue swelling—a sign that Jazz’s powers are returning. Enraged, Silentus vows revenge. He and his henchmen capture Jazz near the church and take him to a remote countryside basement. There, Jazz discovers Saymon, imprisoned and weakened. Silentus mocks them, vowing to leave them to rot without food or water.

In the darkness, Saymon marvels at Jazz’s restored talent, convinced it’s a sign of divine intervention. He urges Jazz to continue praying, joining him in their desperate plea for salvation. Upstairs, the furious screams of Silentus echo as Jazz’s prayers grow louder. Silentus storms into the basement in a rage. Saymon encourages Jazz to sing Gregorian chants. Jazz performs the song "Principles of Lust: Sadeness" by Enigma (1990) solo. The power of his chant causes their shackles to fall off.

Silentus, consumed by fury, rushes at Jazz to strike him. But shadows on the walls come to life, grabbing Silentus and dragging him, along with his enchanted chains, beneath the stone floor. The basement falls silent, and Jazz and Saymon emerge victorious. Jazz learns that his gift is not just a personal talent but a divine responsibility, and that even the most extraordinary abilities cannot thrive without faith, humility, and the support of others.
