The Frog Prince | Sleeping Beauty (school performance)

The Frog Prince:

Is that light at the bottom of the well perhaps the moon? And SPLASH! There it goes, right into the well: no, not the child, just his favourite toy. These things happen. But who on earth is this odd frog who’s promising to fetch it back up? What on earth is this bloke thinking, following the girl – just because of a childish white lie – right into her cosy home? Sitting at her table, eating from her little plate and even wanting to sleep with her in her little bed? Hello, are you mad?! The father coldly orders his little daughter: ‘You have to keep the promises you’ve made!’ Not so in our world! In our world, we don’t kiss frogs just because they claim to be enchanted princes! Because if you say ‘A’, you don’t have to do ANYTHING! Our princess knows how to stand her ground in a bigoted adult world, and the frog ends up exactly where he belongs: on the wall: SPLASH!

Parents bring their children into this fairy tale at their own risk.

Sleeping Beauty

To be a child again. Isn’t that what everyone wishes for at some point!? To let go once more, give in to one’s inner urge to play, and simply be allowed to ask questions with childlike innocence: that’s something few adults get to experience. Yet it is precisely a child’s childlike enthusiasm for play and creativity from which we adults can learn the most – qualities that are deeply rooted in each of us. Being a child is not a phase of life, but part of being human. It lies dormant within you too, just waiting to be kissed awake from its Sleeping Beauty slumber. May the playing never end!
