‘"The Fright of Dragons" by Mihai Ion and Gelu Colceag’

"Ion Creanga" Theatre Bucharest, direction Gelu Colceag

A modern musical tale of a world turned upside down, a story about dragons, but also about the human condition, an extraordinary adventure on magical paths, perfect for little ones and grown-ups alike!
Nothing seems to be enough anymore in a world caught in between the Heavens and the underworld - not food and not money, not the sun, the rain, not even the children. When Earth starts getting sick and God starts getting tired, a humble peasant manages to travel far beyond the horizon and back, thus restoring step by step the delicate balance of our world.
Some very unusual and unfortunate events determine our humble peasant Stan, aka Boulder, to travel to the other realm, led by a rather blunt dragon. None of the monster-brothers who await him in the underworld are terribly polite, but they are nice and love a good sing-song. The fairy tale begins with “once upon a time” just like your favorite story. And when the music ends, you won’t find a living dragon in sight, at school or under the bed!
