Zed
|
Inspired by the Fool of the Tarot, Zed is the main character in the show. Called
to undergo a transformation, he is both multiple and omnipresent. The initial state of Zed
is associated with the unconscious and chaos: his imbecility is obvious, but his silliness
is touching because it reveals his vulnerability and naivety. By the end of the show, Zed
represents consciousness, restored harmony and the reversal of the order of things through
laughter.

Nouit
|
The creator of the firmament, Nouit (Johanna Lillvik, singer) is the
incarnation of the Great Goddess, Mother of the Sky and of all beings
who inhabit it. As a representation of the starry sky (she is fitted with
wings, decorated with 400 LEDs), Nouit expresses and infinite compassion
for all beings and is an ally of Zed, whom she understands and quietly
watches over making every effort to help him achieve his quest..

Abraka
|
Inspired by "The Magician" of the Tarot, the magus Abraka (Kevin Faraci)
is the Father of the Earth and procreator of all the creatures who inhabit it.
Abraka is all-powerful – he wears a chain mail coat and a large royal collar.
When he raises his arms, his four wings, which range gradually from purple to gold,
spread out over 18 meters – but his power is earthbound and subject to the
omnipotence of the Shaman. He is the guardian of the liberating, jubilant power of Zed.

Kernoun
|
Kernoun, inspired by "The Devil" in the Tarot, embodies the troubled
forces of the unconscious. Covered in the burning hues of reds, oranges,
yellows and ochres, he reigns over the subterranean depths, a kingdom that
is one of fire where the Satyrs are his unwitting subjects.

The Shaman
|
Inspired by "The Pope" of the Tarot, the Shaman is clad in a transparent
copper-colored outfit coupled with white-painted tribal patterns that contrasts
with his black skin. As the carrier of the magic incantation of the universe,
he presides over the birth of Nouit and Abraka, who submit to him. It is also
he who awakens the elements. In him, Zed finds a guide to initiate him into
the secrets of the arcane and accompany him on his path to self-realization.

|
Djinn
|
The Shaman is accompanied by Djinn, his accomplice and apprentice.
Covered in gold leaf and smartly adorned, Djinn is the bringer of light
and fire, opening the way wherever the Shaman may go.
ZED is the meeting of two worlds: the heavens and the earth.
And Djinn, the baton master, marshals this big bang by combining
dance and gymnastics with flair.

Clowns
|
Oulaï and Nalaï; one is a vindictive petty dictator who seeks to
control everything, while the other is just plain lazy and always finds
a way to do as little as possible. Together, they form an inseparable
duo of buffoons with the splendid naivety and great poetry to both
move us and make us laugh.

|
Erato
|
Erato is a goddess of Heaven, a muse and a subject of Nouit. Bright, sparkling and
divinely beautiful, she passes through the Sky like a ghost.
