ABOUT PLANTS, ANIMALS AND PEOPLE

ABOUT THE PLAY

Do squirrels know how to lie?
The New Theatre offers you a kind of "ecological" production About Plants, Animals and People, which will tell about nature, the mother of all living things on the Earth, in the sky and in the water.

It will convince you that animals, plants and fish feel pain, joy and sadness. That not only wolves can communicate with each other, but also a wolf with a raven. That animals and plants really think and feel. That the organization of animal communities is often better than that of humans. We will provide a very clear explanation of what photosynthesis is and what it's needed for, as well as the reason why the flow of the river changes if we drive the wolf out of the forest. We will show you that we humans are just a tiny particle in a perfect natural system, without which we would not exist or survive. And indeed, we are not and never have been the masters of life on Earth.

And no, we are not offering you a tedious moralistic education. We offer humorous stories, experiences, and situations aimed at teaching us to love all life within and around us.
