Author and illustrator Etienne Delessert reflects on his lifelong
pursuit of art using the dreamlike scenario of a circus procession
filled with fairy-tale allusions and literary inspirations.As each car
passes, a different act represents a "stage" in life, and the performers
direct a question to the bystander, prompting him to participate and
follow the caravan into the great unknown. Lighting a candle, he affirms
his own contribution to the artistic tradition and invites readers to
play their part in the game of life.
