There are thousands of settings in a forest – for a myriad of performances. Sometimes, the forest is bleak and hostile. And those who dwell within become grim adversaries. Then again, it radiates warmth and harmony... and dresses up in shining colours. The forest has always inspired various feelings in humans.Nobody wants to be caught up in the forest during a nocturnal thunderstorm. When this world turns into a scene of horror even the animals of the forest flee from the wrath of the elements.

Strange insider relationships between the creatures of the forest and small miracles ensure that the cycle of life keeps moving along. A cycle which bands together all the forest dwellers, big or small. Deep in the forest we find magical and enchanted spots...giving us a vision of paradise. But this is the stage where the fight for life is fought out, always letting the strongest win.

Come and join us on a journey into the green universe.
