Félix Morissette and Catherine Robert team up with two OSM musicians to invite you to hear a captivating and educational tale, full of humour and new discoveries, which will awaken young and old alike to the fascinating world of insects.   

Just imagine… you hatch in the springtime, see your reflection in a drop of water and … can’t figure out who you are! That’s exactly what happens to Bill, a tiny explorer who flies off to find his identity. From flower to flower, he dances with bumblebees, does aerobics with hummingbirds and even attempts a rodeo… with flies! 

Keep your ears open… you might come across Bill in your yard after the show!
