An initiatory journey of a child prodigy

Kolizion is a fantastic tale. An initiatory and modern journey like a miniature odyssey or an ardent poem of a shooting star.

Kolizion is a fantastic tale. On the evening of his birth, it's a full moon night and two shooting stars collide. An explosion that gives birth to the shape of his face. His mother will say: « He will be called Mehdi, the guide enlightened by God.  » An initiatory and modern journey like a miniature odyssey or an ardent poem of a shooting star. Between dreaminess and realism, in an imaginary setting of earth and lights, Mehdi narrates his life to understand its thread and meaning. This poetic fable, full of twists and humour, draws us into the intimate and marvellous story of a being, with his paradoxes, his blindness, until his encounter with himself.
