ABOUT MACADAM CIRCUS

Macadam Circus is the polyphonic story of a man who, walking through the streets of a big Western city like so many others (hectic, dirty, polluted and depressed), suddenly comes face to face with a small elephant that no one else seems to see. He decides to take it home and names it Ganesh. His wife moans a little. His son is overjoyed. What to do with it? Minor problem: you cannot keep such an animal at home without bearing the consequences.
