Frog King
(Froschkönig)
Young Audiences2F / 3M
6+
A princess, a golden ball, a frog – same old story, one might think. But the fairytale characters in Thomas Freyer’s Frog King have a mind of their own. Here, the princesses don’t simply wait for princes to lead them away to a new life, kings have parenting troubles (and are not quite the role models they pretend to be), and faithful servants develop tender feelings without losing their heads. Unburdened by Disney-style kitsch and romanticizing notions of princesses, Freyer takes his characters seriously and makes them find new ways on familiar paths. And even if prince and princess naturally will live happily ever after, the happy ending takes an unexpected turn…
World premiere
