On the night before Christmas, a fairy appears in the bedroom of siblings Tyltyl and Mytyl and asks them to find the blue bird for them - the "bird of bliss" is supposed to heal their sick daughter. On the siblings' fantastic journey through the "Land of Memory", to the "Palace of Night" or to the "Gardens of Happiness", the things that surround them and that have been brought to life by a magic diamond also come along: the sugar, the bread, the cat, the dog... This tender story about life, growing up and the search for happiness is also a fable about the power of the imagination. With "The Blue Bird", the Belgian-Flemish author and Nobel Prize winner Maurice Maeterlinck created a world-famous work of symbolism in 1908. Director and puppet theater performer Helga Lázár's concept "liberates the soul of things" not only in the text, but also on stage - using puppet theater, object theater and drama. In doing so, she transfers the archaic nature of the fairy tale to the present day: how do we actually seek happiness?
