"Manu rêve d’être dompteur de chaises car il sait qu’elles sont vivantes et il connaît leur personnalité hors du commun. Cependant, dans une ville sous dictature qui glorifie les sciences et la raison, son espoir semble bien vain.
Mais au-delà des frontières de la cité – que les habitants n’ont pas le droit de franchir – se trouve Le Cirque, un univers mystérieux où tous les songes sont permis…"

 

"Manu knows that chairs have a life of their own, each one with a different personality and talent. He dreams of becoming a Chair Tamer, but he lives in a very sensible City, governed by reason, where fantastic nonsenses are frowned upon.
That's why he must go outside the City's gates. There, at night, one can found The Circus, a magical place on the border of reality and fantasy ."
