The Princess and the Pea - a PixiBallet

Description

H.C. Andersen's classic fairy tale in a fun and beautiful PixiBallet for the youngest. The prince sets off on a long journey in his search for the one true princess, but it is not easy to find a princess with genuine feelings who dares to be herself. He has to meet three very strange princesses before there is suddenly a knock at the door of his own castle. The Princess and the Pea is a poetic fairy tale which in this PixiBallet is told through dance and movement entirely without words. The performance invites children and their grown-ups into a baroque fairy-tale world full of powder, wigs and a mysterious conductor who may have a hand in the game. At Det Kongelige Teater's PixiForestillinger, the youngest in the family can get a fun and informal introduction to the theatre's classical art forms: opera, drama, ballet and concert. PixiBallet is a ballet in miniature, made and told for children solely through dance and movement to musical excerpts from well-known ballets. The Princess and the Pea is danced to music from, among others, the classical ballets Swan Lake and The Nutcracker by Pjotr Tjajkovskij. Give children their - perhaps - first encounter with the ballet genre in this delightful performance for the little ones. Recommended from age 4
