A story-dress that tells a myth. A large skirt that contains all the elements of this story. A mountain of red cloth in which a narrator tells of a witch and her basilisk. The story begins with the arrival of the Basilisk in a quiet village, its power generates fear and confusion. The inhabitants, who do not know how to chase it away, unable to defend themselves from this magic and terrified, lock themselves in their homes. But is this creature really a monster or is it perhaps just incapable of changing its nature? Perhaps unaware of how to manage its power, it is imprisoned by it. Only through a showdown with the reckless courage and sweetness of a small, unaware hero will the Basilisk be given the possibility of a solution, in this case, a magic antidote, a stratagem to prevent anyone from dying, neither the monster nor the village. Through knowledge, courage, the encounter and even a pinch of magic, we find a new solution to an old legend.
