Once upon a time, somewhere on earth, in a village of indomitable Gauls ... not far from a whorehouse…
While his Pappa snores and sleeps off his wine, a little boy decided to set off and explore the vast world...
The little boy was called Theobald ...
but was often nicknamed Totoh and that really irritated him.
He wanted to see for himself if what his father told him had some truth.
Would he meet on the way any hydrocephalic monkeys???
...any illiterate penguins, any cretins of the islands with whom his father said the world was filled?
All this he was going to discover by himself.
Inanimate objects,do you have a soul,the little boy wondered on his way.
At the end of several days of travel ... ... he arrived in a really colourful town ...
where it seemed he was already well known.
The streets were populated with rather strange characters: men with octopus heads, women with hippopotamus bottoms.
But the adventure was fun enough to continue without asking himself any questions.
A sort of hairy painter, shaman of his state, gave him several mushrooms and sent him walking in another dimension.
Theo’s daddy,worried by his disappearance,left in search of him.The nursemaid did the same...
Germaine dances with joy while welcoming visitors.
She tap dances,she chuckles,she bursts out laughing and she wriggles in all directions.
The papa did not have any difficulty catching up with his son.He knew by instinct which mushrooms to eat and at what moment,to open which door and to meet in the same space...
it must be said that evidently he had read Lewis Carroll’s "Alice-in-Wonderland",Castaneda,Goethe’s “The Green Snake” and Antonin Artaud’s the “Tarahumaras”.
From all evidence their paths had led them to the heart of a Riemann matrix and it was enough to await what followed...
Careful.. we are going through the mirror ...
Can you explain the rhizomes to me?
Mrs. Hippo is a star and she goes about at the will of the wind.
Hello? Yes, good day, it’s King Lion.Well.... Come visit me there.. I have a surprise to show you.Good..OK,see you later.Bye.
Uh, I’ll wait for you at 5 o’clock.OK? See you !!
Theobald’s papa,alias RexLudex,had purchased a helicopter the year before...It was,all the same,more practical for visiting his friends.
I’m piloting the helicopter !!!
Oh but it’s the Lion King
Ah,there,they’ve just taken off.I think they won’t be late arriving ...
Can you explain to me the varieties of Calabbi-Yau ?
Totoh is a curious boy.He makes the most of this moment with his father to refine his knowledge on the theory of strings ...
...varieties of Calabi-Yau,rimanien spaces and plenty of other questions which come to mind.
Cacaboudin, cacaprout !!!
The Lion King dispatched Mr.Chameleon,his buttler,to meet his guests.
During their helicopter trip,Totoh and his father RexLudex admired the countryside,the clouds and the architecture of the King Lion’s city.
And so,they discuss,they chat,and blablabla,bliblibli,blublublu and so on and it is really happiness by the light of the earth ... a trip like that.
I don’t like the toxic mushrooms.
Babayaga, the witch of Warsaw, is in a hurry. She is late… quickly, quickly.. to arrive on time to welcome the guests.
My name is Totoh ...I am the most handsome ... And the most intelligent
Mr. Octopus,by nature debonnaire and we know it,walks nonchalantly toward the heliport to welcome the guests.Father,Son and Holy Spirit...
The entire city rushes toward the heliport.It is a great day for the principality of the kingdom.
Indeed, besides its well known status as a fiscal paradise, it is a patron of Sciences.
And the guests of the day are specialists in quantum pataphysics.
And there they are!!RexLudex and Totoh finally arrive.On time,just on time.It is 5 o’clock...What a beautiful city!!!They don’t stop admiring it.
“My guests have arrived,” says the Lion King to himself.
Although this visit isn’t official,father and son must nevertheless respect the protocol of Ludoland.
Release, move about.There’s nothing to see here,no photos,no stars…
What does that mean, papa?
Our travelers are welcomed by members of a joyful crowd and an assembly of enthusiastic dignitaries.This warms the heart and the ego.
Mr. Chameleon,the majordomo,congratulates RexLudex on his red pullover.
As for Theobald, he fait de son nez (squishes up his nose ???) as they say in Belgium.
King Lion is an intelligent man, distinguished, idle, rather snobbish and often full of smoke or astounded.No matter
Today he rejoices in conversations to come and in the surprise he has prepared for Theobald.
To get to the palace,Totoh and RexLudex pass before the centre of psychotrope research,the Church of the Martyrs of the French Revolution
... and turn right on to Queen Zinzin Avenue.No pollution to notice in this ecological city!!!
Here they are at last ...
So with a dazzling lyricism, the Lion King begins to hold forth about everything
“Alea jacta est… tu quoque mi fili...primam partem tollo,quoniam leo nominor...Alleluiah...In nomine padre fili et spiritus sanctus”..
Then he added… “and do I have a chicken’s ass ?”… No one ever really understood what he really meant by that.
Mr. Chameleon the majordomo guides the steps of Theobald and RexLudex in the meandering of the palace.
But what’s this? What’s he coming to do there?
Oh, protocol,always protocol ...The onctuous speaches,the bowings,the reverences,the distinguished greetings…
What does that mean, papa?
Then the King Lion congratulated Totoh warmly on his Smurf hat and told him how happy he was to finally meet him.
And that he had a magnificent surprise for him.“Let’s go,” he exclaimed.On the way he finally announced the gist of the surprise
In the labs of the Ob-Gyn Centre,they cloned for him a little brother from the feather of a swan,some stock cells of red cabbage and a rose petal
The result is magnificent and the child is doing marvelously well .. he is just waiting for his brother.
Mama, she is awake
Aah,Mrs.Hippo’s bottom...what a marvelous sight!
What does that mean, papa?
Joyful as always, Queen Zinzin awaits them.She rocks her child and covers him with kisses
But who is that? What’s he doing there?
So it’s truly a celebration!!! Theobald is so happy with his little brother that he hops in all directions like a kid.
Yippi!! Yippi!! He has a playmate,a friend,a little brother...What joy!!!
The Lion King rubs his hands.. He congratulates Queen Zinzin..
What dough/stash of cash they are going to be able to make by cloning kids for the moneybags of the planet.. fucking fantastic , too cool… what success!!!
Such as deus ex machina... the messenger of the wind,comes from the depth of ages,penetrates our spacetime ...
what does he bring with him??
It was at midnight… it was today?
Theobald gets to know his young brother.He watches him,smiles at him,tickles him and makes him laugh
I'll call him Leopold,he said.It sounds belgium and i like it !!
But the time passed too quickly..Theobald is so sad he must return home...tomorrow he goes to school..
the Lion King consoles him as he can...this evening the little brother will be home!!!
And then he may return when he wishes!!
Hy everybody !! we go home in a single file,in indian file,forming up a row ..
Mr Octopuss has been drinking for a week and he walks in circles drunk like a Pole
the messenger of the wind,bearer of the most important news keeps running franticly ...
But which news ??
the messenger of the wind glamourous like Kate Moss for a Givenchy catwalk takes care of his appearence
You can hear blackbirds and nightingale sing
What news should tell the messenger of the wind ??
What's the point ??? Nobody cares ...he understands abruptly
Nobody cares ...Nobody cares ...Nobody cares ...
he is flabbergasted by such revelation ...he staggers ...astounded.Then comes deep understanding ...
In such uncertain times ... in an era of crisis and epidemic of all kind.Against all odds and will,there is only one solution.
Dance.Dance.Dance...
Yes,let's dance..Let's dance as during the roaring twenties.
Dance! Dance! Let's spread joy and happiness.Sing like blackbirds and nightingales
Our totemic dance will shake up free hearts and minds
Dance for life dance for death,the clouds and the oceans
Let's dance to the sun ,the moon and the invisible forces
These will guide our lives
Let us enjoy the days and our loved ones
The end
