The Singing Castle is an original multi-media performance, where comic book illustrations and music on original musical instruments are connected with the puppet theatre. It is based on the motives of the fairy tale by H.C. Andersen, The Nightingale, which is a story about a king who wanted to be like the nightingale. The bird lived in his garden and sang beautifully, exciting admiration from the whole world. At first, the king was jealous of the little singer that was stealing the attention, but he eventually realized that he too must follow him and turn his life into a song. He decided to build his new castle as a giant musical instrument that would play and sing like the nightingale...
