The big hedgehog lives quietly in the shade of the great oak, and looking after his own, while enjoying his neck of the woods. However, one day, like any other, this peace will be disturbed by the arrival of a squirrel who is kind, mischievous and playful. Their living together won’t be easy. We will find out about an unfriendly and protective hedgehog, and a squirrel wanting to know and share more.

One of the characteristics of the fables is they always end with a moral conclusion. Therefore, what is the point in The fable of the squirrel? With this show, La Baldufa suggests that we think about, reflect on, and dig into difference and mixing. The hedgehog and the squirrel are very different, but they have myriad opportunities to learn and share together.
