Five shadow actors/actresses present the character Ananse, the African spider-man, showing one of their stories. In it, Ananse makes a bet with Nyame, the lord of the skies, and must fulfill three difficult and dangerous tasks, in order to obtain the chest with all the stories in the world. Aimed at children, the show mixes shadow projection, storytelling, music and dance to address a topic dear to us all: the preservation of Afro-Brazilian cultural traditions.
