"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear." – Mark Twain
Young and old alike, come and be inspired to find courage even in moments seemingly filled with fear. A fairy tale for the brave will take you on a journey where opportunities hide beneath the veil of darkness, and every step forward is a testament to your inner strength.
This magical dance-theatre performance tells the story of a wanderer who dares to face an unknown world full of surprises. Will they succeed? Yes! Thanks to courage – theirs and yours.
Let yourself be carried away by movement, emotions, and an atmosphere that draws you into a world brimming with dance, mystery, and hope.
Did you know that deep within the magical forests lives a specter that lures passersby, enchants them, and then takes control of their bodies? A fairy tale told without a single word, where every detail is expressed through movement alone. It’s the story of an adventurer embarking on a journey filled with creatures lurking in the shadows. A place where danger waits around every corner, and trust is a luxury you can’t afford.
Will our hero overcome this battle with the supernatural world? Not alone, that’s for sure. They’ll need your help! That’s why we’re looking for brave souls to face fear and evil. Fearless individuals who conquer their own doubts and turn bad endings into happy ones. We’re searching for a hero to join the story.
Perhaps it’s you. But first, let us ask: Are you afraid of the dark?
