CINDERELLA

puppetry

by Charles Perrault

Cinderella! Who hasn?t dream about her destiny? Who hasn?t wander ?what could make me happy?? When bird lands on someone?s shoulder and why? … No one knows. Still, we could learn from Cinderella?s story that luck goes to those who are ready for it. That goodness, sympathy and patience are always rewarded. And the greatest happiness comes when you find your soul mate, when you recognize him and fall in love ? when you find your Prince. The old fairytale has lots of lessons. When it brings inspiration to a puppet performance that?s when the real magic comes. Messages become beautiful and powerful art. Only Theatre could do that and everyone who can feel it is blessed.
