About the performance
“The Curious Little Elephant” is a fairy-tale performance about a young elephant’s desire to understand the world.

His search for answers takes him into the jungle, where surprising meetings and exciting discoveries await. The production encourages children’s curiosity and celebrates the joy of discovering the world.
