In every forest, there is a place where time stops, it is the heart, the breath, the soul of the forest, a place where people never go, not because entry is forbidden, but because access is so improbable…
There lives a small people of strange beings; some are so tiny that the eye of any potential passerby cannot distinguish them. They know the secrets of preparing the best elixirs and as night falls, the festivities begin, musicians are ready, and the dances only stop at sunrise.
Under the watchful eyes of the forest spirits, this small world organizes, loves, laughs, cries, and entertains. Some evenings, when the forest has shed its leaves, and the animals are cuddled in their dens, in the snowy cold of winter,
the trees whisper stories that the wind carries away, and although sometimes they resemble those of humans, they remain very mysterious.
For about thirty minutes, the actor recounts his encounter with the traveling bird, which led him to enter this extraordinary forest, and his discovery of the secret little people living there…
“Little Stories of the Forest” was designed to be presented in a natural setting.
The structure outlining the space intended to host the play area and the audience: a vegetal theater in the shape of an arena, composed of stakes tied together with wooden weaving, baskets, ropes, and plants.
