Experiencing Interruptions?

Notes on a Dromedary

In the strange and rugged landscapes of Lanzarote, Ponç, a 14 year old adolescent, tells his story that oscillates
between memories of ancient times and his everyday life. He speaks about the arrival of the dromedaries to the
Canary Islands, about how they were taken away from the Sahara by the colonizers to be exploited, and he says he is
sure he was one of them. He raps it, he narrates is as a tale, he repeats it continuously. Sahara, Sahara, Sahara. The
story mixes up with playstation games, talks about female bodies and desire, reggaeton, junk food, and other peoples
