The show which premiered in Brussels and has been seen in France, Italy and England, come to our country for the first time in his appointment adds another Festival in its 42 national premiere edition.

"I regard this story as only he could give to my son," says Alejandro Jodorwsky also deals with the scenery, music and direction of the mount that provides a load of humor.
The gorilla "is the sad story-Jodorowsky explains itself-an ape captured, to avoid being exhibited in a zoo, takes the hard road of learning to speak a human language to so slip into a society that eventually demolished. His only triumph is to be awarded by a University Academy which does not recognize a soul conscious but admires him for being a beast capable of imitating the speech and conduct of a mediocre man. "
For the gorilla kafkeano Alejandro Jodorowsky is a total victim.
