Description of the performance

The play is a co-production of Baj Theatre, based in Warsaw, and Pleciuga Puppet Theatre, based in Szczecin.

Every girl has wanted to be a princess at least once, and every boy wanted to be a knight. Our little character named Aurelka, who is an ordinary girl living in an ordinary town, one day receives her Tiny Kingdom and is transformed into a princess. A happily fulfilled dream, would you say? Aurelia thought so too. But it turned out that it didn’t necessarily look the way she had imagined. The crown presses a little, the throne is hard, the beautiful dress is imposing and The Grand Mayoress forces her to manage the kingdom. On top of all this, a cheeky prince shows up and a candy-munching dragon emerges from the bushes.
This witty and funny story provokes a discussion about responsibility, stereotypes, and the courage to be yourself.

The book “Tiny Kingdom of Princess Aurelka” by Roksana Jędrzejewska-Wróbel was published by the Bajka publishing house in 2009, and in the same year won the Best Children’s Book Competition “Przecinek i kropka” organised by Empik. It was included in the prestigious Golden List of the ABCXXI Foundation – “All of Poland Reads to Children”. On 10 October 2018, the second, expanded edition of this excellent book was published.

Zdjęcie ze spektaklu Maleńkie krolestwo Królewny Aurelki. Three characters sit on a low step - Aurelka in a crown and ornate skirt sits on the lowest step, Richard the green dragon sits in the middle, and at the very top sits Emeric dressed in a brown blouse and knee-length trousers. Emeric - the play's protagonist - stands holding a large white car on braces. He holds a sword in his hand and a hood is imposed on his head. The Grand Mayoress took out a long rule book, which he showed to Emeric. Next to the characters stands a smiling Aurelka. A chef in a big kitchen hat opens the menu through Aurelka. Aurelka, wearing short shorts, clay shoes and a crown on her head listens to the chef's words.
