Letters of the prince about life, about being on the road, about longing

After the book by Toon Tellegen

When Sleeping Beauty sleeps for exactly ninetynine years the prince who will kiss her awake decides to go on his way. He doesn't know where her castle is and he doesn't really know why he wants to kiss her awake and what will await him when she awakes. On his way to her he writes her everyday a letter about what he experiences and thinks.

Hans Dagelet - speaker and trumpet
Corrie van Binsbergen - guitar
Miriam Overlach - harp
Alan Purves - percussion and more

A play for the ears. Exciting and hilarious.
Lyrical enthousiasm combined with absurdism.
It seems not possible.
But it happens in the texts of Toon Tellegen.
And these letters by the prince fit actor Hans Dagelet like a glove!
Trumpet blares and airy strums.

Beautiful glasspaintings by Frédérique Spigt, projected by a magic lantern give the stage setting an extra dimension.
