Descartes and Pascal interview each other in 1647. We witness the possible discussion between the two philosophers united by mathematical passion: is reason the tool for finding the truth through sciences, or alternatively will empiricism and rationalism not get as far as faith in understanding the universe? An interpretative duel that represents the return of Flotats to the Lliure after 32 years.

"Flotats continues to be a perfect monster. I had a fantastic time at this show. Pure theatre.” (Marcos Ordóñez, El País)

"An austere production of exquisite clarity. A lesson in life." (Juan Ignacio García Garzón, ABC)
