A seven-year-old Ari is ecstatic over an announcement in school one day. Addressing the students, the teacher informs that the class is due to stage a play on The Lion and the Mouse. With a name that literally translates to "lion", Ari deems himself fit to play the role. But when the teacher asks for a show of hands, owing to his shyness, he doesn't raise it as high as the other kids and so, doesn't get the part. What follows then, is a tale of hope; one of a child discovering their talent through a playful experiment. And this will be showcased as theatre this weekend.
