The Wolf – No Fairy Tale

Inspired by the true story of M16, who went hunting with his she-wolf F6 until he was released for shooting. The wolf, sometimes as narrator, sometimes in the middle of the action, sometimes in the role of the sheep, leads through the play. With original word collages and specially sung songs, the discourse on the return of the wolf to Switzerland is highlighted and illuminates the prejudices of the "bad wolf". But is he really so evil, bloodthirsty and devious? In addition to singing and physical play, the wolf brings miniature wolf and sheep figures to life, opening up another level of play. On the back of the life-size sheep doll, his hunting trophy, landscapes, forests and grass pastures are created in the course of the game.
The Wolf – No Fairy Tale is not only a love story, but also an attempt to illuminate a current and at the same time controversial topic from another side.
