LEGEND OF ICARUS OTOOLE

The Legend of Icarus O’Toole is a satirical love story about an innocent child of nature, who falls victim to his own eccentric, even slapstick ways.
Born on the beautiful and wild Achill Island, free as a bird, with a predilection for chasing about naked on the high cliffs of Croaghaun, his carefree life slowly gathers momentum, then races around like an out of control roller-coaster.
After tragic circumstances that have him locked up for ten years in a mental institution, he is released to begin his new career as a performance artist.
His new life in – as he describes it – “Feculent Art” takes ridiculous twists and turns, and has him on the run for crimes of obscenity and indecent behaviour.
Appalled by his growing fan base, the self-appointed snobs and guardians of polite society and the arts are determined to bring the incredible flying man of Achill down to earth.

Legenda lui Icarus O'Toole este o poveste de dragoste satirica despre un copil inocent al naturii, care este victima propriilor sale moduri excentrice, chiar slapstick. Nascut pe frumoasa si salbatica Insula Achill, libera ca o pasare, cu predilectie pentru urmarire cam dezbracat pe stancile inalte din Croaghaun, viata lui lipsita de griji prinde incet avant, apoi alearga ca un roller-coaster fara control. Dupa circumstante tragice care l-au inchis timp de zece ani intr-o institutie mintala, este eliberat pentru a-si incepe o noua cariera ca artist de performanta. Noua sa viata in - asa cum o descrie - „Arta Feculenta” face rasuciri ridicole si il face sa fuga pentru crimele de obscenitate si comportament indecent. Consternat de fanii sai in crestere, sinele -sobii si gardienii desemnati ai societatii politicoase si ale artelor sunt hotarati sa-l aduca pe pamant pe incredibilul om zburator al lui Achill. „Blakey este unul dintre marii artisti de acuarela din lume ...” Eoghan Harris, senator irlandez, Sunday Independent „Un om de geniu ” Rowan Hand, Rte1 (radiodifuzorul national irlandez) „In spatele acestor creatii captivante se afla mana prolifica a unui maestru.” Mickey McDonnell, Standardul de Nord
