The Arcadia troupe of the Regina Maria Theater is preparing for the 3rd edition of the "Tales from Arcadia" Week, which will take place from April 20-27, 2024.

"The Curious Elephant" is a funny text, inspired by the story "The Elephant's Baby" by Rudyard Kipling. The main character of the story is a baby elephant, from the time when elephants did not yet have trunks, who wants to discover the world. So he asks a lot of questions to the animals around him, but they become annoyed by his insistence and end up avoiding him. But the baby elephant does not give up and when the curiosity arises in his mind to find out what the crocodile eats for dinner, he sets off on a real adventure to find the answer.
