The Golden Princess at The Courtyard

The Golden Princess at The Courtyard, presented by Lempen Puppet Theatre Company

Melo, the strange, one legged musician, sits alone by the sea, content in his world and playing the most beautiful music. But who comes here? A golden carriage bearing a Princess so beautiful that she wears a golden mask to hide her blinding beauty. And she pushes him in the mud!

What kind of a world is this, where one who hides her beauty behaves so badly to the one with beauty at his fingertips? It is the ‘Land of Rumours’ of course – where the first idea or impression spreads like a wildfire of whispers, distorting the truth and spreading discontent.

A theatrical performance using acting, puppets, shadows and music for everyone from 5 years old to 105 years young.
