Defending Infinity

Defending Infinity is a tragi-comedy by Ken Janjigian. Van Arakalian has been playing it safe for many years. He has a proper job, a loving fiancée and suburbia is calling. However, soon after his father's death, his life veers towards cataclysm. He quits his job and returns to bartending where he befriends an eccentric and seductive group of artists. Meanwhile, Van is dealing with insomnia. During sleepless hours he obsessively keeps a surreal and spontaneously written journal, which he refuses to read. Van's fiancée finally demands that he examine the real issues catalyzing his erratic behavior, but Van is suddenly more focused on starting a new life of travel and creativity.
