This work is particularly layered in its resonances: the title draws on the dibbuk of Jewish folklore, a malicious, dislocated soul of a dead person that possesses a living host, while also holding the very contemporary ache of being ghosted by a romantic partner. The emotional and the spiritual collapse into one another in a way that feels entirely Flora's own.
