It is yet to say which is more unyielding: love, grief, or faith. Owing to one or the other, Johan, a grieving father, plunges into the Deep Forest to seek answers for the unnatural death of his son and discover its supernatural culprit, if he’s even real. Inspired by the ballad “Der Erlkönig” by Franz Schubert and Johann Von Goethe.

The Art Assignment

This page collects and displays the audio work of filmmaker/writer/director Gabriel Busaneli E Silva. Though with a focus on film, Gabriel has sought out audio work as another avenue to explore his creativity and expand the reach of his narratives. His 2023 debut audio drama "All Hail Der Erlkönig" explores the ramifications of love and grief and expands the mythology and iconography behind Schubert's most famous ballad "Der Erlkönig". The work has already participated in multiple audio festivals, winning the top prize, Platinum Award, at the Hear Now Palooza 2023 organized by the National Audio Theatre Festivals.
