The Tree of Legends

Once upon a time Mama Ro began with two kids who made themselves comfortable sitting on an oak branch, as if they were in a treehouse, overlooking the city. Since then, that branch has grown into a big branchy oak. Today, this wise tree keeps the stories of all the legends of Mama Ro: it reveals the stories of how each of our studios was created:the ideas that are hidden within them but invisible at first glance. Place your cursor on the tree and it will reveal you its stories. A click on any of them will take you to the legend’s page.
