Gourdoulou is a hybrid creature formed by two men, one perched on the other’s shoulders. Both the horse and the horseman at the same time, this tragicomic chimera brings together will and resignation, physical effort and contemplation. Wandering is at the heart of it’s melancholy nature, an allegorical narrative for an unresolved quest.
This short film formed part of the program for the Hors Piste at the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
