Characters

 

Zaia

Zaia is the name of the main character, a young girl who dreams of becoming an astronaut and discovering the mysteries of space. Her imaginary celestial journey will follow in the footsteps of her parents and she will encounter love. Her odyssey leads her to take a fresh look at the beauty of Earth and the humans who live there.

Romeo

Captivated by the innocence of Zaia, Romeo is a young spectator she meets at the beginning of her voyage. This character will search for her throughout the story. When they come together at last they will delight each other in a sensual straps duet.

Clowns

Sensitive and silly, the clowns are the companions of Zaia in this wonderful adventure. Although they become separated their friendship will reunite them in the end.

Parents

Zaia’s parents, itinerant acrobats on tour in space, passed on to her their wanderlust and desire for discovery.

The Handyman

A Charlie Chaplin-like character, the Handyman builds a precarious structure with planks and its pipes. When his shelter collapses, everyone bands together to save him.

Adam and Eve

This couple represents original, pure, mythical and eternal love. It is through them that Zaia herself discovers love, a feeling that she will later share with Romeo.

The Humans

These characters of all ages and all social strata represent the last people on Earth. Pressed and jostled in their daily lives, they are equally capable of humor and great impulses of unity.

The Aristos

Characters from another era, the Aristos represent high society and elegance as they participate in the aerial number.

The Weathervanes

These characters from the Chinese Poles on Globes number represent the points of the compass.

The Primitives

The Primitives represent the first men who tamed fire and learned to use it. They include us in their celebration of love and fire.

The Sage

A mysterious ageless character, the Sage embodies the memory, knowledge and different eras of humanity. He is the archetype of the ancestor, the first of all ancestors, a kind of bright spot in the blackness of space. The Sage watches over Zaia.

The Fossils

The ice-encrusted Fossils are silent witnesses to the union between Adam and Eve.
