Chasing Splinters - Wout Vanroose

One person in a landscape of thousands of wooden blocks. Meet Wout, the acrobat who goes on a voyage of discovery extremely carefully and with maximum concentration. The key question: What can he do with the well-known, simple toy: KAPLA®. With a mix of creativity and daring, he moves towers, tests his balance, and takes on a shot put ball. As the setbacks pile up, his perseverance is tested more and more. Steadfastly, he continues to build a world of wooden blocks, in search of the perfect balance. But where does the boundary between ambition and absurdity lie? How high can we build before everything collapses? When is enough really enough? ‘Chasing Splinters’ is a fascinating performance full of challenge, humor, music, and a touch of nostalgia. A unique combination of circus and theater, in which the play with KAPLA® blocks not only explores the physical boundaries of the constructions but also playfully exposes the absurdity of our existence. Let yourself be carried away into a world full of tension and precision! Wout Vanroose is a circus artist, musician, and engineer from Leuven. In this performance, he brings all his disciplines together in a unique way.
