The Filoscope is a strange machine. You could call it a merry-go-round.
An aerial merry-go-round that comes to life when the 3 Thonessen brothers get their act together and hang their fabulous animated tableaux on it.
The Filoscope is the work of a lifetime, or rather of several lifetimes.
Created by the grandfather, the machine was naturally taken over by the 3 grandsons.
At the bottom of the garden, next to the old tin shack, stand the 3 masts of Le Filoscope, the ‘3 masts’ on which the brothers take their dreams, their sorrows, their stories, their memories... and their rivalries.
So, Le Filoscope sets off, and here we are, privileged spectators on a fabulous journey into the ingenious little world of these 3 poets of tinkering.
