Burrow

Venue: MIW Theatre
Age: 4+ 
Run Time: 45 minutes

Deep in the forest, two little creatures bustle about, collecting their provisions. Acorns, pine nuts and mushrooms, pebbles, apples and branches: every item is counted and tucked away in the burrow’s belly. One inventories, rations and studies… The other writes, ponders, relishes… Their friendship, peppered with little quibbles, sews the flow of the seasons. Yet somehow, something has come between them.

Can we live without others? What kind of effort does friendship take? How are we to reconcile our differences? Burrow brings the young audience member on the pathway of friendship and living together, in a playful, poetic and wordless theatre experience.

A co-production of Les Incomplètes and Théâtre du Gros Mécano.
