The big problem they always bump into can only be solved by way of smaller problems that find their definition of the problem and its solution in a certain action. These actions can be pointed at the environment or other characters, or a combination of these. For this project we were assinged to create a visual story with a superhero as a main character.

The story is about a 'King' who has no emotion. He is searching for it. For this he has built himself a theatre in which he has built a performance act. He's using some dodgy material to built it's theatre, though! The story is based on some ideas regarding the world we live in and the relation we have to her.
