Sinopse

In the countryside, the neighbours know everything. News travels fast even among the slowest creatures (I’m looking at you, snails!). So when the country mouse decides to visit his cousin in the city, all the animals know about the trip. When he arrives in the metropolis, he realises how different everything is, and he and his cousin discuss whether it’s better to live in the country or in the city. They don’t come to any conclusions, but that’s okay, because leaving has always been more fun than arriving. A show with a story, told with drawings, music and a few worms. — Joana Estrela & Nicolau
