by Radu Dinulescu

The show is a multinational co-production, involving artists from Romania, the Czech Republic, Belgium and France, which tells the story of a group of traveling actors stopped at a border crossing. To solve this problem, they improvise a puppet show about the adventures of Aladdin for the border policeman. Thanks to the magic and humor of the play, the actors convince the policeman, but also the audience, that they have earned the right to cross the border.

Commedia dell'arte archetypes, classic string puppets and bunaku dolls are the main ingredients used to portray the fascinating oriental story, everything being enriched by the illusion of sets and 3D images.
