He doesn\u2019t know what an elephant looks like. Is it big or small, strong or weak? Does it have legs or wings? Five brave mice set off on a perilous journey across India hoping to assist their king. In West Africa, the animals are debating which of them is the strongest. They decide to resolve the question with a contest. All the animals gather and present their strengths to loud cheers and applause. But when it is the turn of the human, a deathly silence falls. \u201cWas that strength?\u201d wonder the animals of the forest, afraid.<\/p>\n<p>In re-imaginings of two folk tales \u2013 one from India and one from West Africa \u2013 the artists Kathleen Rappolt and Jan Sell narrate the strengths and qualities of elephants. The stories are told in German and German Sign Language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-accordion\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-2 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<block-accordion inline-template>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<block-accordion-item inline-template item-headline=\"Kathleen Rappolt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div ref=\"item\" data-id=\"KathleenRappolt\" class=\"block-accordion-item vue-initialize\" aria-expanded=\"false\" :aria-expanded=\"active ?
