"One oral presentation, three dimwits and three story tales… "

In unexpected, absurd and deeply moving ways, three dimwits begin an oral presentation on the big bad wolf in classic children's story tales. Throughout the deliriously outlandish account, Miss Black, Miss Blond and Mister Chestnut discuss the fascinating character of the wolf in three tales: Little Red Riding Hood, The Wolf and the Seven Kids and Three Little Pigs. But how do you proceed when you've lost part of your speech and only vaguely remember who should be doing what? The three performers who can't agree on their role or on how the presentation should proceed get carried away, then sidetracked and tangled up before getting back on topic. As they go through this zany sequence of events, they show their vulnerable side and make audiences understand that you become stronger by facing difficulties. This is a challenge all children are faced with.

By drawing on shadow playing, dance, singing and clowning, The big bad wolf sheds light on the weaknesses, fragility and humiliations, big or small, of human nature through the laughter of audiences.
