The Weavers and the Elephant, featuring The Khikri Kata Bhoot & Tina Quito and Tara Musca, three immensely enjoyable tales, sweeps you into three breathtaking adventures, each charged with wonder, danger and the courage to face the impossible.
Step in ... get ready for magic, menace and marvellous adventures.
