A Traveling Medicine Show
Synopsis
Akiva is kidnapped from his idyllic childhood in one of the planet’s
last forests. Torn from his family, he is placed in a foster home in a
world addicted to a ‘miracle’ drug – the ultimate in sustenance,
comfort and hygiene.
When the now-teenaged Akiva falls in with Dr. Theo’s Traveling Medicine
Show and Circus, he learns that the drug he himself is now hooked on has
a dark side. While it is indeed food, it also feeds something inside us
that is not human at all. The only antidote is the late Dr. Theo’s
legendary medicine – but the medicine has been used up.
Searching to uncover the secret of the medicine so that he can reunite
his lost family, Akiva leads his fellow acrobats into an unknown world,
on a journey as savage, sensuous, and elemental as imagination itself.
