LA CICALA E LA FORMICA
These two small animals, symbols of idleness and work, are among the most famous in the world thanks in part to La Fontaine′s popular fable.
In the French storyteller′s tale, however, these two characters are rigidly opposed and embody only the opposition between wisdom and thoughtlessness. On the contrary, in this particular version of the story, the Grasshopper and the Ant, become, at one point, also allies since, in the contrast between dream and reality, a third character insinuates himself between the two protagonists: the Hornet, an unscrupulous impresario and businessman.....
In this hilarious and dreamy show, the soundtrack turns out to be the protagonist and the many songs performed give life to a real fabulistic variety show.
The phantasmagorical scenes, create enchanted curtain calls for the cicada′s performance, in a continuous game of surprise and magic.
The tale of a friendship lost and regained that, like all adventures challenges actors and spectators to trace a modern parable and lead to the end this small and great story without end.
