Synopsis
“Dancing, singing and partying was once forbidden in a lost tropical town” This is how the show MAKONDO begins. Makondo was created by GKO Orchestra, an original company of musicians, dancers, actors and circus artists based in Montreal and coming from many different places around the world. FAIT VIVIR tells us the myth of this, out of the ordinary band, through the eyes of Manuk, a five-year-old boy. His imaginative and poetic perspective interlaces documentary material of the band touring through various villages and cities of Colombia, with the staging of the show. The fantasy of the narrator also allows us to know closely the daily life of the creators and the dream that feeds this adventurous project that propels movement and freedom.
