Chasing Splinters

One person in a landscape of thousands of wooden blocks
Meet Wout, the acrobat who ventures out with utmost care and razor-sharp focus. The key question: what can he do with the well-known, simple toy KAPLA®?

Blending creativity with courage, he moves towers, tests his balance, and faces off against a shot put. As the setbacks pile up, his perseverance is put to the test. Where is the line between ambition and absurdity? How high can you build before everything collapses? When is enough truly enough?

Chasing Splinters is a fascinating performance full of challenge, humour, music, and a touch of nostalgia. A unique blend of circus and theatre, where the play with KAPLA® blocks not only explores the physical limits of constructions but also playfully reveals the absurdity of our existence. Let yourself be drawn into a world of tension and precision!

Wout Vanroose is a circus artist, musician, and engineer from Leuven. In this show, he brings all his disciplines together in a unique way.

TIP!
