Details

Once upon a time, in the depths of the ocean, a mermaid princess is singing, and a young prince is drowning... she saves him... he kisses her... I love you, you love me... the mermaid exchanges her tail and sublime voice for two legs, but the prince, alas, marries another! The Mermaid Princess is a captivating new adaptation of Andersen's The Little Mermaid; a haunting tale of a young mermaid who sacrifices all for love. The production completes a trilogy of visually enthralling, theatrical fairy tales by Teatro Kismet exploring themes of rites of passage, following the internationally acclaimed Beauty and the Beast and The Snow Queen. Combining music, dance, physical performances and ravishing costumes, Kismet's simply staged and brilliantly inventive style will transport you from a shipwreck in the depths of the ocean to a prince's castle, from a sea witch's cavern to a cloud of sea mist lifting to the skies. Thrilling, sensual and unforgettable theatre guaranteed to capture the imagination of both children and adults alike. Most suitable for anyone aged 8 and above
