Based on Alphonse Daudet and his letters from Le Moulin, 4+. Does the big bad wolf always eat the goat? Are chimeras just chimeras? Can dreams change reality? And is it being free to run outside the enclosure? The Little Faun tells such beautiful stories. Blanquette dreams so much of freedom. Alphonse Daudet has a broad smile on his lips, because we will change the ending of the story.

Blanquette, Mr Seguin’s last little goat, dreams like all goats of beautiful mountains and chimeras. Gringoire, Mr Seguin’s valet, like Mr Seguin, does not want the little goat to run away and be devoured by the big bad wolf, master of the mountain. Whenever she is unhappy in her pen, her friend the Little Faun, who comes from the mountains, tells her the beautiful stories that the mountains have been telling for thousands of years. 

Blanquette escapes when Monsieur Seguin is distracted. Will the big bad wolf eat Monsieur Seguin’s little goat? The little faun, the goat’s friend, watches over her, like children do, so that she can escape the jaws of the big bad wolf and the little faun can continue to tell Blanquette beautiful stories. 

The show is played in French.
