Are you afraid of the wolf, or afraid of your fear?
Arthur goes in search of the so-called "bad" wolf, and has magical experiences to discover it hiding in a magician's hat (don't tell the children!)
A relationship full of tenderness and humor is then created between them.
"My Little Magical Wolf" lets you (re)discover the popular culture of the wolf with excerpts from famous stories, proverbs, and music. All punctuated by poetry, magic, and laughter!
"Little Wolf", the story of an unexpected friendship between our fears and our desires, and a real moment of shared love with the audience.
By reservation starting November 5th.
