Globule

2022

On tour

Synopsis

Behind a pair of thick, round glasses is Globule, a quiet little boy who often has his head in the clouds and lives alone with his father.
When Globule takes off his glasses, the world becomes blurry. He loves transforming it by making up stories that are absurd, funny, touching and sometimes frightening!

But his father never gives him time. Getting up, school, the journey home: they run, rush and hurry… With Dad, there is no time to dawdle.

To stay in the blurry world where he feels at home, Globule starts taking off his glasses during his tightly scheduled daily routine, risking losing touch with reality.

A sensitive, offbeat performance using shadows and projected images, for children aged 3 and over and the adults with them.
