Performance Storytelling
Fables For The Earth: stories to inspire
environmental awareness and responsibility
Food and water are scarce. Two children, a mouse
and a goat must brave the elements and climb a
steep mountain to find out what can be done. As
the group struggles upwards, the ancient rocks they
walk upon tell them stories. Listening, they begin
to understand just how brave, cooperative,
persistent and thoughtful everyone needs to be to
do the critical work of caring for the earth.
This is a dynamic storytelling performance that
aims not only to delight but to harness the age-old
power of traditional fables from around the world,
to inspire a creative appreciation for the dynamic
interactions of the earth’s physical, biological and
social systems.
