Pa Zodiac
Spanning more than a decade, this auditory journey examines a cassette tape from 1977, incomprehensible horoscopes, father-son relationships, karma and lost souls.
Prosper de Roos stumbles upon a cassette tape from 1977 bearing his name. On it, he hears his father consulting an astrologer, uncertain about what to do with his eleven-year-old son. The astrologer is unfazed. The boy, he explains, has a difficult horoscope—he cannot tolerate his own soul. It is, somehow, a matter of karma.
This enigmatic recording becomes the starting point for a deeply personal quest. What role can the zodiac play in a father–son relationship? And how could such an improbable prediction come to pass? This auditory journey takes an unexpected turn when the COVID pandemic intervenes.
