A wordless ballet for the youngest theatregoers, based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale. The prince sets out on a long journey to find the right princess, one with real feelings who dares to be herself. He meets three very peculiar princesses before someone unexpected knocks on the door of his own palace.
Told entirely through dance and movement, the production invites children and their grown-ups into a baroque fairy-tale world of powder, wigs and a mysterious conductor who may have a finger in the pie. The music draws on well-known scores such as Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, making it a gentle first encounter with ballet.
