Three strange servants deal with the day-to-day affairs of composer and piano teacher Camille Saint-Saëns and look after the pets he keeps – a tortoise, a wild ass, an elephant, a kangaroo, a lion and many more besides. A glass harmonica plays a part in the story as well. Do you have any idea which »member of the family« it fits best?

A music-theatre production based on the »Carnival of the Animals« by Saint-Saëns, but without any use of language.
