The Fables

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern Skärholmen


 

The dog, the crab, the owl, the frog and the bat. And Man.

The Fables is a musical about living together. With dance and music the acting orchestra tells the tale of how the lion and the donky hunts together, the war between the whales and the dolphins, and  the friendship between the rat and the frog. The performance is based upon the ancient tales of Aisopos Fables.

Through live music, motion and choreographic material with a strong theatrical expression, the performance visualizes one of the most urgent and burning questions right now, how to coexist?  How do we dare to live together, close to one another, when we are all different?

The Fables are a manifest for humanistic values, equality and a dialogue of differences.
