We are in the laboratory of Prokofiev's bizarre and childlike grandson, inventor Oleg, as he pesters an orchestra professor about an experiment: is it still possible today, without using the Internet and digital sounds, to recreate the sounds of nature with an acoustic musical instrument?

Can music mend disagreements and misunderstandings?
Can music bring peace to personal relationships?

The story we invented shows in filigree the genesis of the work trying to follow in the footsteps of Sergei Prokofiev. In April 1936 he used the form of the symphonic poem, Peter and the Wolf, to accompany the small audience of the Moscow Central Children's Theater to discover the three main instrument families of the symphony orchestra: strings, woodwinds and percussion. The preparatory workshop, in the form of a staging, will thus serve to activate in our very young audience an antenna of the soul ready to pick up the deepest emotions of this incredible work, providing a real cognitive map to orient themselves even in lesser-known territories.
