Gorfou-Tornade

A high-energy literary and theatrical cartoon that responds to violence with laughter and ends with a joyful dance party! The MiniGorfous choir tells us about a distant era in a world of ice. A world where anger is rumbling and resources are melting away. A tragedy makes everything go off the rails: a MiniGorfou is dead. Collective fear, rampant consumption and institutional violence then lead straight to collapse. But what is told is truly a renewal, a resurgence through the body, celebration and movement. In creative, playful and inclusive language, Héloïse Desrivières gives children the power of storytelling and chooses hope over resignation. The pace is frantic, while music and sound effects play an active part in the narrative and the space transforms as the ice floe melts. The entirely white ice world gradually becomes metallic and reflective, eventually creating the disco ball beneath which we will dance together and share the joy of being in the present.
