THE THIRD PREMIERE OF THE ARCADIA TRUP: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
We are pleased to invite you to a new premiere of the Arcadia Troupe: the show BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, which will take place on Sunday, from 11 am to 5 pm. The show is based on a story by Jeanne Marie Leprince de Beaumont, staged by Florian Silaghi, the interim artistic director of the Arcadia Troupe. Tickets are on sale both at the Theatre Agency and online, on the website ticketmaster.
Here is a brief synopsis of the show:
A merchant who had three daughters loses his fortune through misfortune. Having set out on a journey in an attempt to recover his money, he gets lost and ends up in a deserted castle, where he is feasted by invisible servants. On his way, he picks a rose, which brings the owner of the castle, who is a fierce beast. The latter wants to punish the merchant with death for the deed he has committed, but gives him time to say goodbye to his family, and the little girl, Bella, sacrifices herself and takes his place in the Beast's castle. The Beast decides to spare the old man's life for the girl's heroic deed, but keeps her prisoner in the castle. After a while, the two, Bella and the Beast, become friends - the girl asks the Beast to let her see her family, promising to return in a week. The envious older sisters convince her not to return to the castle, and after a while, the girl has a nightmare that the Beast is sick...
Will Bella succeed in taming the Beast hidden in the enchanted castle? Will her beauty, or her courage and pure soul, help her break the mysterious spell that envelops the castle and its owner?
