A play in storytelling, gesture and circus
Creation 2018
When a man is about to set sail, he gives his son a book and asks him to wait there, telling him when he has finished reading, he will be back.
Rocked by the backwash waves, years pass and the son is still waiting.
Shrouded in the mystery of his father's journey, the adventures of the book, and his own fantasies, the child became a man without realizing it.
Fortunately, a strange bird, escaped from one of the pages, comes and strips the images one by one that have inhabited him for so many years, and finally awakens him to his own life.
