Sinopsis: Rosa ha horneado una deliciosa tarta para celebrar con sus amigos la limpieza del patio. Músicos e insectos han sido invitados a la fiesta, pero … la tarta ha desaparecido. La investigación servirá para escuchar (y también bailar) una selección de canciones que pueden dar pistas para encontrar al culpable. ¿Te atreves a ayudar a encontrarlo? Únase a nosotros para disfrutar de un fin de semana lleno de actividades divertidas, talleres y actuaciones espectaculares.
