Description

A sparkling tableau of imagination unfolds as a troupe of humble woodcutters and beloved storybook figures step onto the stage, each dressed in vivid, almost painterly costumes—from the ruby‑red vestments of a tiny thief to the moon‑lit gown of the ethereal Light. The opening scene places the audience in a rustic cabin, where the gentle rustle of leaves and the warm glow of a hearth set the tone for a whimsical journey that feels both familiar and freshly enchanted.

From that modest beginning the drama expands into a series of dazzling realms: the fairy’s crystal palace, a midnight court of shadows, and a forest alive with singing rivers and dancing flames. The six‑act structure weaves together song, dance, and poetic narration, inviting listeners to follow the graceful procession of characters such as the mischievous Bread, the radiant Fire, and the tender Water. It is a celebration of wonder, where every tableau shimmers with color and every line hints at deeper mysteries yet to be revealed.
