The Disappearance of the Lilac Tiger — 'Forget the Orange Juice'
Episode 1 — Michel Dupont lives on floor 9 1/2 of a pre-WW2 apartment building, colored light pink on the outside like a big block of marzipan. Today, while making breakfast, Michel realizes that he's forgotten the juice. Here's where routine goes off the rails. Michel meets his elderly neighbor, Madame Cloutier, and her dog, Jacques Pistache.
About The Disappearance of the Lilac Tiger
Set in the city of Nice, this story is a five-part fiction podcast written and directed by Graeme Keeton.
The 38th Colored Lights Performing Arts Festival is coming to Nice. On the beach, a mascot made of plastic, a cultural icon known as the Lilac Tiger. Over the past year it's brought over €17m in donations... but now it meets Michel. Unable to remember anything for more than a couple of hours, Michel steals the tiger to impress Fabienne, a woman he's just met. Stashing the tiger and forgetting all about it, Michel then volunteers to join the search party.
In a race against time, and the festival's prickly director, Madame Deschamps, as well as the shady Man with the Ebony Cane, Michel becomes the unwitting centerpiece in a story about memory, love, loneliness... and the disappearance of the Lilac Tiger.
