From the world of commedia dell'arte, Gozzi fashions his fiaba--the
fairy tale. A wicked queen, a foolish king, an imprisoned queen, twin
babies spirited out of the castle and the clutches of the murderous
queen, the kindly sausage seller and his wife, animals and statues come
to life, singing fruit, and a musical fountain turn philosophy on its
head and take an amused, and sometimes scathing, look at humanity.
Despite creating a world of improvised zaniness, magical transformation,
and delightful illusion, there lies beneath the mockery and ribaldry a
dizzying tension between order and disorder, where the rules of the game
may just be utterly unreliable.
This show will be a theatrical experience you won't want to miss - complete with magic spells, a story book set, and a song or two added into the mix!
