Dust & faded pink
A restrained colour world makes the blue skin and small bursts of colour feel deliberate.
World Done Changed / Surreal socio-political cinema
LE MONDE
EST FOU
01
Impossible adventures.
An increasingly ordinary madness.
The premise
When the abnormal
becomes ordinary.
Impossible adventures unfold in a modern world where the abnormal becomes ordinary. Le Monde est Fou explores an accelerating reality through surrealism and socio-political satire, where everyday life begins to feel like a simulation.
02 / Nairobi in motion
Keep the city real.
Let reality misbehave.
Traffic, buildings, weathered metal and street life give the impossible somewhere specific to happen.
The car and the eagle
A quiet act of reading becomes precarious. The city keeps moving around him.
03 / Business as usual
The room keeps
a straight face.
Courteous order, worn surroundings and an incongruous figure at the head of the table. The humour begins in what everyone accepts.
The visual language
A strange world.
With weight and wear.
The impossible should feel lived in. Texture, performance and a recognisable city hold the world together.
Physical texture
Scuffed surfaces, dusty streets and worn clothing anchor the fantasy in material reality.
Deadpan performance
The characters take their world seriously. The audience discovers its absurdity.
