The world of fairy tales is not only imaginative and adventurous for children. It also offers something very special for adults: the opportunity to look into children's dreams of long ago and be enchanted by the poetry of the story. The hero Ruslan is searching for his beloved Ludmilla, who was kidnapped by a cunning dwarf on her wedding night. But three rivals are also after the beauty, and a cunning witch is making his path more difficult with evil magic ...
Cornelia Thiele's expressive performance turns this amusing story into a very special experience. Whether exciting or romantic - the respective mood is wonderfully supported by Thomas Kieck on the guitar with tone painting and soundscapes. A fairytale play that washes the dust of everyday life from your soul.
