Discovering the Lost Souls in Milfort Piano Concerto

Philemon Mukarno, a filmmaker, created the film “Milfort Piano Concerto” during his residency at Live Art Ireland. This residency took place in Milfort House, Ireland, curated by Deej Fabyc. In this film, music plays a crucial role. Mukarno composed the music himself, weaving a narrative around a concept he calls “The Lost Souls.”

The Concept: The Lost Souls
In a high tower, where the sky meets the earth, stood a man. His heart was filled with longing. He had lost three souls: the merciful soul, the righteous soul, and the peaceful soul. Every night, he prayed to God for their return. He believed his most powerful weapon, his genitals, could attract the souls. His heart spread the souls across the earth, but it was not enough.

Spiritual Separation and Hope
The man felt emptiness in his life. His sins had separated him from divine love. He was a lost man, engulfed in the darkness of his own deeds. Yet, hope still burned in his heart. He knew that God could grant grace, even to the most lost souls.

The Miracle of Divine Music
One early morning, in the blue light with stars twinkling like angels’ eyes, a miracle happened. God heard the man’s prayers and decided to help him. Divine music echoed through the air, filling the world with a holy resonance. The sounds were like a call, an invitation for the lost souls to return. One by one, the naked souls drew closer. Their journey was difficult and slow, like a child learning to walk. The man felt their presence, a tender touch of divine love. He knew the souls were finding their way back to him through the power of the music God had sent.

The Rebirth of the Man
One morning, as the sun cast its golden rays over the earth, the man awoke. He discovered he was without clothes, pure and clean, like people in paradise. The souls had returned to his body, and with them, the grace of God. He felt a transformation within his being. What was once darkness was now filled with light. The merciful soul gave him compassion, the righteous soul granted him the strength to do good, and the peaceful soul filled his heart with love. He was no longer the lost man he once was; he was reborn in the grace of God.

The Future and the Message of Hope
The man knew his journey was not over. Each day was a new opportunity to protect the souls and spread God’s message. With each prayer, his faith grew. He knew that as long as there was life, there was hope. The souls would never be lost again, as long as he carried God’s love in his heart. With the strength of the three souls, the man began his mission to change the world, one soul at a time.
