Meet Ferdinand, an unusual bull who prefers picking flowers to joining the bullfighters in the ring, and Danilo, a young nobleman whose father Duque Dodo has big dreams for him. Watch what happens when Danilo, the reluctant matador, meets Ferdinand in the bullring. You'll cheer for them as they refuse to go along with the crowd and strike a blow for individuality and celebrating our differences. This production integrates Spanish, flamenco dancing and original music to create a memorable theatrical experience perfect for young audiences and their families.
