Comédie Jardinière “Solstice”

Five eras ago, before the Palaeozoic, even before the Stoic era, all the continents were gathered together in a fist. And then, slowly, the fingers of that fist spread apart, giving rise to a hand that opens…

It was a happy time. The dinosaurs danced and laughed! Don’t laugh! It’s a proven fact. But today, there’s a sense of tension in the air, of war on the horizon. The fist is closing.

Fortunately, it’s not all doom and gloom, no, it’s not all lost… For here are four Yokai straight from Japan, determined to get involved.

- Yokai, did you say Yokai?

- Yes, a few rather mischievous nature spirits.

- And Midas, what’s this king got to do with the story?

- You mean the one who mistook the glint of gold for sunlight…?

- Yes…

- Your ticket, please… Thank you.
