Birds are always crashing into the glass walls of the Stepmother’s cold designer home. The Fortune Teller entertains Cinderella/Kosia with magic tricks, and above all, thanks to his sober take on the world, he helps her cope with her mother’s death, of which we are constantly reminded by loud hammering on percussion. He also helps her rediscover her joy in life. Meanwhile, the Prince is just as lost as Kosia and needs help.

The familiar story of Cinderella becomes a story full of unexpected twists and turns in this original version by French playwright and director Joël Pommerat. Directed for the Stary Theatre by Anna Smolar, the play breaks a social taboo, because death and the mourning that comes with it remain controversial in children’s theatre, and speaking openly about them is thought transgress certain limits. This dazzling, fun, and touching production is the Stary Theatre’s first production for younger viewers. But it is for adults as well.
