This contemporary re-telling of an ancient folk-story uses allegory and humour to explore major challenges of our time


It begins when the wise Sophia enters a starving Village and declares she will feed everyone with her magical soup


But first Makomo must follow the Star and persuade Mr & Mrs North to give up their control of the Giant Cooking Pot


They finally agree and soon the Giant Cooking Pot begins to boil and bubble


Hungry and curious, the Villagers gather around


Sophia asks them to each contribute a stone to help make her soup


They think she’s mad


But their children quickly oblige


And – as if by magic – the soup begins to acquire a delicious taste and smell!


But when Sophia speaks of peace and justice, the fearsome General Mayhem marches into the Village and orders Major Hazard to seize the soup and place it under military control


Sophia faces the firing squad and all seems lost
