The big bad wolf

One oral presentation, three dimwits and three story tales…

In unexpected, absurd and deeply moving ways, 3 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 3 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 3 characters 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. Who hasn’t been terrified by the idea of doing an oral presentation? As the characters go through this zany sequence of events, they expose 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, frailty and humiliations -big or small- of human nature through the laughter of audiences.
