Chantecler: Play in Four Acts

The curtain stays low while a voice invites listeners to imagine a bustling farm yard alive with rustling straw, chirping birds, clattering hooves and distant church bells. From this symphony of sound the audience learns that the cast is a choir of barnyard and woodland creatures, each introduced with a hint of personality, from the proud peacock to the careful nightingale. At the heart of the tableau stands Chantecler, a rooster convinced that his crow is the very spark that awakens the sun.

In the opening act the manager‑narrator guides us through the scene, teasing the arrival of characters and hinting at their conflicting worldviews. As Chantecler debates the power of belief with other animals, the play gently raises questions about idealism, pride, and the meaning of duty without revealing how their disputes will resolve. The lyrical prose and vivid sound design promise an enchanting listening experience that balances humor with thoughtful reflection.
