2013 is the year of the 110th anniversary of the discovery of one of the jewels of archeology Iberian Hispanic origin: the Thymiaterion Calaceite.
To celebrate we wanted to pay homage to the Iberian culture, but by extension to other civilizations that have populated the region on which now stands the village of Calaceit, with a transmedia production that combines standard format, with a comic and public participation in solving some puzzles of the plot (through social networks Facebook and Pinterest), which has been distributed between the months of April and July 2013. The result is entitled “Livingstone” and here is presented the full version. Enjoy it!
Chapter 1. The Rock:
At l’Àtic, after a hard work day at the Roca Caballera, something strange happens:
The note is written in iberian alphabet and says: “Caballo recortado a golpes de luz” (Horse trimmed by light bumps). A verse from a poetry by Angel Crespo, poet who spent long periods in Calceite.
John Nazrat, our protagonist, thinks it could be a message from someone who wants to interfere in his investigarion. So, he decides to consider this “clue” to try to rule out hypotheses about how the Roca Caballera came to its current site.
Chapter 2. Horses:
After shooting this episode, John receives again a note behind the door of his apartment. This time the message says: “El obsceno pájaro de la noche” (The obscene night bird). It matches the name of a key work of latin-american Boom of literature. The author of the book, José Donoso, lived in Calaceite during de decade of 1970.
John believes that the note may be related to an strange birdlike form inscription on the top of the Roca Caballera and will tray to and try to decipher its meaning.
Chapter 3. Birds:
Next day, John backs to Lo Rebost, the store of Gus..
Gus has managed to bring his inamorata from the distant past, but John is not back with them.
Few days after, a worrying tape appears in his apartment…
