Mei, a 6-year-old girl, prefers listening to stories to studying her lessons.
His mother, a cook at Rossignol, has little time to devote to him, but his grandfather always finds time to tell him mischievous stories. Today, he tells her about the story of his great-great-grandmother who helped a nightingale escape from the golden prison in which it was held by the Emperor of China. A story of friendship that reminds us that nature and freedom are gifts that must be taken care of. The show combines acting and puppetry, transporting the audience between ancient China and the modern world, with magnificent sets and costumes.
