Medium-format show for two actors and ten puppetsSYNOPSIS
Adaptation for puppet theatre of the Fables of Jean de La Fontaine:
THE CROW AND THE FOX Book 1 Fable 2 (LE CORBEAU ET LE RENARD)
THE WOLF AND THE DOG Book 1 Fable 5 (LE LOUP ET LE CHIEN)
THE FOX AND THE BILLY GOAT Book 3 Fable 5 (LE RENARD ET LE BOUC)
THE COCK AND THE FOX Book 2 Fable 15 (LE COQ ET LE RENARD)
THE FOX AND THE STORK Book 1 Fable 13 (LE RENARD ET LA CIGOGNE)
THE FOX AND THE GRAPES Book 3 Fable 11 (LE RENARD ET LES RAISINS)
THE CICADA AND THE ANT Book 1 Fable 1 (LA CIGALE ET LA FOURMI)With the help of two sceneshifters, La Fontaine sets out to present and narrate the fables. The sceneshifters thus perform it with puppets, according to what La Fontaine has previously instructed them to do. But on some occasions, either to help a character, or on others because they are not happy with an ending, they get involved of their own accord.
