Are you familiar with the fable “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”? Of course you are. A shepherd boy who lied by crying “Wolf!” is punished by being devoured by a wolf himself. It’s a classic! It’s the same story for 3,000 years…
But what if the fable itself had lied to us?
What if the wolf wasn’t the bloodthirsty monster of legend?
What if he became the friend of the lying boy?
What if together they set off in search of truth and liberation?
What if they even pointed an accusing finger at the puppeteer who is currently performing the show you are watching?!
Don’t be fooled by the idyllic setting, the charming mountain village, the flowery meadows, the catchy songs, and the funny puppets! This is not your average fairy tale. Alix and the Wolf is an immersive, mind-bending show where the child-spectator is led to ask questions about the nature of lies, our relationship to invented stories, and the value of friendship and empathy.
