“The Princess and the Pea”, a short fairy tale, a grand spectacle!

About

The original story written by Andersen is just a single page long – a read in the blink of an eye. So what can you turn it into on the theatre stage? It turns out: almost anything! From a short note, you can weave a world full of adventures, twists, and unexpected encounters.

The acting duo – Kacper Kupiec and Bogusław Byrski – prove that imagination has no limits. In their hands, “The Princess and the Pea” becomes:

– An interactive experience – the audience doesn’t just watch, but helps co-create the story.

– A comedic rollercoaster – the humor is playful, sometimes surprising, but always spot-on.

– A burst of energy – fast pacing and unpredictable gags ensure there’s no room for boredom.

This is a performance that will disarm even the grumpiest soul and prove that one tiny pea can become the beginning of a gigantic adventure.

Fasten your seatbelts – a princess like you’ve never seen before is coming!
