Fluffy, cute, fuzzy, and cuddly – bunnies are seen as mascots for spring, a symbol for fresh life and a burst of colour. But there’s a dark side to rabbits as well as they dance within the shadows of hand puppets and plunge down beneath the ground to unite the light of the sun with the mystery of the unknown otherworld. Come join us in fascinating conversation as we explore how mythologies have employed this duality of the rabbit, from the shrubs of the undergrowth to the surface of the moon!
