Through the Looking-Glass

Stepping through a hall of glass, Alice finds herself in a world that runs like a gigantic chessboard, where every square holds a curious living creature or a puzzling riddle. She quickly learns that to move forward she must play the game of the pieces, encountering Red and White Queens, talking flowers, and a trio of mirrored twins who argue as much as they mirror each other. The landscape shifts from a garden of living blossoms to a forest of talking insects, each encounter nudging her toward a surprising promotion.

The narrative unfolds in a series of vivid tableaux, each chapter a fresh tableau of absurd logic and gentle satire. Humpty Dumpty teaches Alice the elasticity of language, while the Lion and the Unicorn debate rule and rebellion in a regal yet whimsical court. As she navigates these strange meetings, listeners are invited to follow a child’s wonder transformed into a daring quest to become a queen herself, all while the mirror’s reflections keep the ordinary world just out of reach.
