Synopsis

Little bunny is afraid of everything! At the slightest rustle of leaves he trembles, at each crackle of branches his heart pounders. Getting out of the house or playing hide and seek with friends can be a real ordeal. Realizing that his anxieties prevent him from living, little bunny decides to act. What if to be less afraid he slipped into the skin of a predator who fears no one? Thing said, done! The next day, little bunny makes himself a wolf costume, the effect of which will be much more terrifying than expected ...

Is it enough to cross-dress to change? How to tame our fears without sinking into entrenchment or loneliness? Nourished by the frame and the visual universe of the youth album Ich bin ein Wolf, sagt Hase (transl. I am a wolf, said rabbit) by the Lucerne illustrator Jadwiga Kowalska, the two directors, Chine Curchod and Anna Papst, play with the atmospheres and the force of the images to detect the spiral of fear and the subterfuges of the childish imagination.

The result of an unprecedented collaboration between four Swiss theatrical structures, this show, full of sensations, happily transcends linguistic barriers and deceptive appearances.

This performance is supported by the Swiss Arts Council (Pro Helvetia Zurich and New Delhi).
