PETER PAN

In the organizer's words:

BALLET TALES

by Emanuele Soavi
Music by Han Otten
after James Matthew Barrie
Commissioned by the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz

Peter Pan can fly and never grows up - ideal conditions for a never-ending childhood full of adventure on the fantastic island of Neverland. Peter Pan lives there as the leader of the "Lost Boys". One night, on a trip to London, he meets Wendy Darling and her two brothers John and Michael. Without further ado, Peter takes the three of them to Neverland, where mermaids, Tiger Lilly's tribe, fairies and, above all, the dangerous pirates led by the evil Captain Hook invite them to a multitude of adventures ...

Peter Pan is world-famous and universally loved! The Scottish author James Matthew Barrie first invented the character of the mischievous boy who doesn't want to grow up as a secondary character for his book "The Little White Bird". As the main character, Peter Pan first conquered the theater stage in London on December 27, 1904 as the title character of the successful play "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" and shortly afterwards became a symbolic figure of children's love of adventure and joie de vivre. Whether on stage, in the movies or in books - children all over the world grow up with Peter, and adults like to dream themselves back to Neverland, where Peter Pan - eternally young - still lives out his adventures today. Choreographer Emanuele Soavi brings the popular story of Peter Pan to the stage, where the lost boys join Wendy, the fairy Tinkerbell and, of course, their leader Peter in the fight against the pirates.
