Synopsis:
The goal that the artistic team set out to accomplish was to bring into discussion, through the means of theatrical creation, a very modern theme, that of the meaning of beauty, with its two fundamental forms –inner beauty and outer beauty. „Of course that the main focus remains the plotline of the story written by the Grimm brothers, but as an undertone we want the audience to reflect upon the balance between physical beauty, which is decorative, but fleeing and the beauty of ideas, of attitudes, of the way we treat eachother. These are eternal topics of discussion, completely valid today, when physiscal appearance is to many more important than other qualities like kindness, generosity, empathy, that last over time.” says director Ion Ciubotaru.

Mozart, Amy Winehouse. Louis Armstrong. Elvis Presley. Or Janis Joplin and David Bowie. These are just some of the characters of the show ‘’The History of music for children (and their parents)’’, directed by Cristian Ban.The show is fun and educational and is aimed at the whole family. The characters are musicians who have had a storied, often controversial life, a path that has decisively marked the history of music. „ There is almost no talking in this show. Instead, we focus on how music changes our mood or helps us overcome certain difficulties. In fact, music is a permanent companion to us humans, whatever our age, and that it accompanies us through thick and thin. For grown-ups, the show is a reason for nostalgia. The little ones, on the other hand – who also have the chance to listen to 60 minutes of jazz, classical, dance and rock music – will leave this show with a huge appetite for discovering quality music,” said director Cristian Ban.

The show Town musicians of Bremen, the way it was thought out by director Adam Boboc, is full of rythm and joyfulness and keeps the interest of the spectator peeked at all times.

It is hope that unites these four beigns (a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster) and brings them on the same path of discovering the importance of friendship, tolerance and confidence and trust in those who are always there for you.
