Forest - Animals - Handicap - Tolerance
The quadrature of the circle, the round square forest, is home for seven
animals who have all the characteristics and imperfections of human beings.
Here in the forest they have taken refuge from the outside world, which,
because of their handicaps, does not accept them. In this peculiar world
they experience a fairy-tale like existence in which every problem is solved,
each individual is loved, accepted, and can accept his own fate. Notable
are László Réber’s pen-and-ink drawings with simple, but highly
expressive lines. (6+)
