As in a novel by William Faulkner, a single tale is recounted by three witnesses. The same material as seen from three different angles: ‘music of variable geometry’.
The character, personality and sensibility of each of three protagonists are suggested by geometric forms: the ruggedness of the triangle, the grace of the circle, the obstinacy of the square.
