The plot

Jack the ripper_ Then and now

Original soundtrack from English national Opera_2019 Jack the ripper 

In our film, we’ll explore the abusive power that men exert over women — on their bodies

and their minds — as perceived through the foggy lens of time. The past and the present are

overlaid in order to challenge the illusion which separates them. The present is already past.

The past is always present.

Given that Jack was never caught, and that some people believe he could have been multiple

killers, should we represent him as only one man? By choosing to never reveal his identity,

we’ll insinuate that the Ripper could be any one of us, as well as in all of us — and that in

today’s society, he rips women’s hopes for a brighter future, he rips their dreams into

domestic submission, and he rips their self-esteems as well as their ability to control their

own bodies.

Who was Jack then, and who is he now? What was abuse like then, and what is like now?
