The Burning Forest
The forest is on fire is an ecological fable directed at a children’s and family audience that combines textual, gestural, and shadow theater.
“Say that it was the mother mole who first smelled her presence, and then the birds gave the alarm, and the squirrel perched high up in a tree could see the smoke and the first flames. And the news spread like a shiver through the entire forest; the frightened animals began to flee, leaving behind their burrows, their nests, their shelters, and the provisions they had stored for the winter. They were facing an uncertain future.”
It will be the children who will guide them to a safe place, away from the flames, and to raise awareness among the adults so that tragedies like this do not happen again.
