Cléo is a tale that departs from the traditional genre of storytelling. Its philosophical tone results in a fusion of imagination, literary aesthetics and poetry where reader, narrator, and listener alike are drawn into an intricate narrative web. It also provides an ideal framework for the expression and transmission of the various messages symbolized by the character’s quest:
“In every household of every homeland
Everywhere in the world
There lives a Cléo that remains silent.”
