The Book of the Forest

"The Book of the Forest" is a theatrical-musical fairy tale for children aged 5 and up. In a withering, ancient forest, a deathly silence reigns - caused by a sick Echo that repeated human cries for so long, disrespecting the forest's quiet, until it grew hoarse and lost its voice. When the animals have left and the birds have flown away, a woodcutter named Maciej arrives at the clearing to fell a thousand-year-old oak tree growing there.

After learning the truth about Echo's illness, Maciej decides to save the forest. He sets out to find medicine - along the way he gets caught in the Spider's web, reaches the court of the Queen of forest bees, and visits the Rosehip's pharmacy. Will he find three enchanted flowers and discover the magical words hidden within them? Will Echo regain its voice, and will the forest bloom again?
