A marvellous tangram, manipulated in the face of a great wooden cube, creating an infinity of scenarios.
Karl is a square man. Perhaps even too square. He lives in an isolated lighthouse in the middle of the ocean. He turns the light on and off every day, and that seems to be enough for his happiness. But one of his small triangles is different. He's tired of this routine. A curious dreamer, it sets off to discover the world... A shock for our square Karl!
Karl feels incomplete and decides to look for him, but during this search, he will have to reinvent his way of looking at things, round off the angles and play with the unexpected. There are rules. There is life. Karl knows the rules well and they are comforting, but now he will also learn to laugh. This discovery of the world will lead Karl to become more flexible... and smooth things over!
A show with a tangram manipulated on a screen of a large wooden cube, which shows that an obstacle is just a door to cross in order to discover new things. The wooden shapes move and transform, as if by magic, creating an infinity of scenarios and familiar characters that surprise and delight us.
