The Carnival of the Animals

The Carnival of the Animals

An adaptation of the famous Saint-Saëns piece The Carnival of the Animals, presented through a fairytale story of a rebellious, curious girl and a lost lion cub, combines rich classical and contemporary dance expression with the emotive performance of young artists. It offers a reflection on timeless yet ever-relevant themes such as generational conflict, the interplay of love and fear, and the escape from the burdens of everyday life into a world of imagination and creativity.
