Tópec is a mole herder. With his pockets full of planets, Tópec shares with us his fascination with the “intimmensity”—the secret movements of the sky and his tribe of precious underground creatures, scattered throughout the neighborhood! Tópec is a wild electron, a haybag of the human race, thick within the thinnest, a patrophysicist at cosmic liberty. In his world, life is round like an orbit, round like the pupil of an eye, and everything revolves around everything else—time, raindrops, cherry flies, questions, clouds... Come on, come on, ladies and gentlemen, come closer and step into the big top of cosmic drafts. Welcome to the sleepyheads, the bright and lively, the fake slowpokes, the lonely stars, and their shoes full of dirt…! Here, it’s just one step to “there’s nothing”! Or two or three—that depends on the length of your imagination’s legs!
Tópec is a mole shepherd. With planets in his pockets, Tópec shares his fascination with intimacy, the secret movements of the sky, and his tribe of precious underground creatures, scattered throughout the neighborhood! Tópec is a tender and shaggy clown, a wild electron, a patrophysicist in cosmic freedom. In his world, life is round like an orbit, round like the pupil of an eye. In his world, everything spins, dances, and vibrates around everything else. Time, raindrops, cherry blossoms, questions, clouds... Come on, ladies and gentlemen, come closer and enter the big top of cosmic air currents. Welcome to the sleepless, the bright and lively, the deceptively slow, the solitary stars, and their earth-filled shoes…! Here, there’s only one step to “there isn’t”! Or two or three—that depends on the length of your imagination’s legs!
