The Society of Art presents

Ariel, Princess of the Sea

directed by Antonello Ronga

“In the middle of the sea the water is as blue as the petals of the most beautiful and transparent as the purest crystal; but it is very deep, so deep that an amphora could not reach the bottom; it should be put many bell towers, one on the other, to get from the bottom to the surface. There live the people of the sea…”.

These words with which the great Andersen opens one of his greatest masterpieces and is this “blue background” that is represented on the stage of the “Stranger plants, flowers and bushes from the leaves so light that a small water shift is enough to shake. All the fish, young and old, fly among the branches as birds do among the trees”, all animated in a rocky musical comedy.

“Ariel, Princess of the Sea” is a surprising show with the “submarine” taste that, through the history of the beautiful and sweet red-haired mermaid and his love for Prince Eric, proposes to children a “report of formation”, allowing them to approach the difficult subject of self acceptance and the different, as well as the delicate and current parent-child relationship. Frying and exciting live songs accompany the whirlwind of the characters on the scene almost to recreate the swing of the waves of the sea. A sea in which you have to get a little lost to find yourself and understand the importance of affections.
