THE LITTLE ELEPHANT

Bubu have to wash all the family’s socks. It’s a boring job, and Bubu, during the washing, tells a story to himself. As if by magic, the socks come to life and turn into jungle animals: they will tell us how an extremely curious little elephant with a small nose was the first elephant ever to have a trunk, and how he discovered how useful it was. Bubu will meet animals of all colours and sizes, but he will also be accompanied by many songs, because every sock has a sound that makes him sing. They are sounds that recall Africa, voices that make us dream about the earth, the trees and the green, muddy water of the river.

The story told by The Little Elephant is inspired by a tale written by Rudyard Kipling. Imagination, surprise, curiosity and music are the main elements of this play.

Thanks to Progetto Ambasciatore, a project whose purpose is to bring the experience of theatre for free to those children who find themselves in financial and social distress, The little Elephant travelled the world, entering the native communities in Guatemala, Chiapas and Perù, in the refugee camps of the ex Yugoslavia, in the Brazilian favelas, in the Romanian orphanages, in the shelters for street children in Mozambique and Zambia, in the schools of Nicaragua and Argentina.
