“Fata Morgana” is pure storytelling existing somewhere in the realm of magic realism and urban legend in which the audience chooses which of the four principal characters to begin with – the baker, the contessa, the mapmaker or the widow – and Loren Niemi tells from there. At the half way point, three of the four are in Fata Morgana (literally the term refers to a
kind of desert mirage) and the audience chooses who will leave, which in turn determines which of five possible endings the story will arrive at.
