IOAN – The SAGA of ANT-A-GORA

The Order of the Dolphins

The saga tells a truly exceptional and completely unique story of a different worldview. It tells of how another power interferes in a culture familiar to us by trying to change it. IOAN’s odyssey, to overcome skepticism and hostility as an extraterrestrial human, provides a look through his eyes at our civilization as well as an unimagined world far beyond what is familiar to us. Therefore, a surprising new world comes into being. With his extraterrestrial powers, IOAN provides hope to those who follow him. The more we learn about his mission and the powers he possesses, the clearer it becomes he is not the first and only one of his kind. In essence, the SAGA is a thriller that takes place in a multiverse and thus, provides a different perspective of such factors as well as raises, respectively, answers existential questions, such as: What is the world really made of? How does progress happen? The answers are startling and shake the core of all of our beliefs. The storyline goes beyond the limits of our imagination as well as the genre accountable for it. The main theme is science fiction, mixed elements of fantasy for the dramatic and decisive “moving time periods”. As a thriller, it builds momentum in the race against the clock. The story not only integrates historical scenes and personalities into the present, but it also provides enhanced identification and global cult potential.

  Therefore, people, animals and any type of objects exist in a setting that is different from their time / their development (forward versus backward)
• Energy defeats security forces (armies, fleets) and swallows up the pyramids only to bring them back made of glass. It also prevents attacks against hotels, a hovercraft, a reservoir dam. It makes cars fly and helicopters dance.
  Astonishing iconic scenes set in present-day atmosphere (examples: the Kennedy assassination takes place at a Scottish lake/ Waterloo: Napoleon’s cavalry vs tanks)
• Past personalities meet current public figures (examples: King Midas, Shakespeare, Emperor Charlemagne, Nebuchadnezzar, Kublai Khan, Saladin)
• Two worthy emissaries face each other in a devious game with the victor winning the right to return to ANT-A-GORA (locomotives race up mountains)
• Animals (dinosaurs, etc.) and mythic creatures (leviathan, etc.) act as helpers
