This groundbreaking production from Bastian Kraft and the ensemble reimagines Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale through the vibrant lens of Berlin's drag scene. By weaving together the timeless transformation narratives of Andersen's classics with the real-life stories of local drag queens, the performance explores how theatrical self-expression becomes a powerful tool for liberation and self-discovery.

The show examines the profound connection between costume, makeup, and identity — demonstrating how these transformations enable performers to not only create a new self, but also to develop new self-awareness. It's a celebration of gender fluidity, artistry, and the courage it takes to be authentically yourself.

Performed at the intimate Kammer stage, this 1-hour 55-minute production (no intermission) offers a moving and entertaining meditation on identity, acceptance, and pride. Perfect for audiences from grade 9 and up. Note: The performance includes strobe lighting.

Bastian Kraft's innovative direction earned him the prestigious Ehrenstöckel award from Travestie für Deutschland in 2019 for this remarkable production.
