SYNOPSIS

APOCALYPSO tells the story of a bunch of aliens who survived a great intergalactic disaster. They now form a population of exiles trying to recreate a society on a prison-planet called EXILUM.
They live under the yoke of the tyran OMNICYON, an entity the various tribes of the communauty worship and fear.  
This evil character seldom appears in front of his people.
He communicates from his secret lair through a network of giant screens.
While trying to protect his reputation as a people’s friend, he hides a deep secret : he was one of the instigators of the great intergalactic disaster.
Assisted by his three lieutenants ZAGOR, SHAÏKAN and YENARK, he rules the city as if it was a puppet theater.
We see ILELL appearing, masked agitator, able to merge into the scenery like a chameleon. He blows the winds of rebellion until he becomes a people’s hero, a myth, a symbol.
This is a show on the progressive fight against dictatorship, whether open or hidden. We strip the velvet glove from the iron fist. At the sound of music.

OMNICYON injects the Obedience Implant into his four lieutenants : ZAGOR, SHAÏKAN, YENARK and DARZAL.

THE TRIBES WHO LIVE IN EXILUM

1. The JUNKJACKS
These are the slaves of the system, the workers. They toil without knowing why. During the day they exhaust their bodies working on machines and, at night, gather in hovels where they try to forget their miserable fates through alcohol, dance and sex.
Their outfits are quite chaotic, often patched or ragged, revealing the muscular bodies of the men and the forms of the women. T-shirts, leather vests, skins, etc. It’s the temple of blood, sweat and tears. Life is hard.
 
2. The SUBALTS
Here we have the class of the «Officials» «Civil servants». Completely devoted to the system , they obey the finger and the eye and blindly accomplish the missions confided to them by the supreme power. Based in the vast offices of high technological evolution, they manage the standardisation , recording the evolutionary stages of every citizen of EXILUM, indicating their errors in behaviour, violations of rules, etc.
Their outfits are uniforms, with huge glasses that give the impression they have fly’s eyes. The chief director of the SUBALTS is a central feminine character : YENARK.

3. The ZEPHURS
These are the last citizens who think of themselves as «free» on EXILUM. They are the artists, the musicians, writers, thinkers, poets, painters, sculptors, tight rope walkers, clowns, etc. In fact, they are there to entertain OMNICYON and benefit from a much cooler life style than the other exiles.
They have certain privileges as the dictator favours them. But their lord and master can at any moment, demote them to a lower area if a performance displeases him. It has happened that he'd sent to the VAPORATOR (disintegrator) an artist deemed subversive or who ceased to entertain him.
The zone where the artists perform is the central theatre of operations. Here the large square is located where their activities take place, with tight rope walkers, acrobats, fire eaters, musicians, dancers, etc.

The JUNKJACKS fanatical workers activate the relentless pace of the « BOULOZOR ».
