WOUT VANROOSE - CHASING SPLINTERS (5+)

Meet Wout, the acrobat who goes on a voyage of discovery with extreme caution and 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 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 line lie between ambition and absurdity? How high can we build before everything collapses? When is enough really enough? CHASING SPLINTERS is a fascinating family 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 limits of the constructions but also playfully exposes the absurdity of our existence. Let yourself be taken to 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. After the family performance, there is a short play moment on stage, where you can work with the KAPLA® blocks yourself.
