TEACH ME HOW TO FLY

25 April, 12.00  on stage of Novgorod theatre «Mali»

NYAGAN YOUTH THEATER, Russia

This is a story of the Prince, who lives alone in a castle on the almost uninhabited island somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Is it possible that the inhabitants were a Stone Guardian, a Cheerful Brook and a Wise Old Turtle, who are always busy and Prince does not have anyone to play with. But one day a White Bird flies to the island… This begins a magical story about friendship, responsibility, betrayal and love.

» Teach me how to fly » is a story of growing-up experiencing the loss, because only losing a person begins to understand life. When you have everything — you do not feel much, do not know, and do not understand. The play is about faith, assurance and love that leads the main character – Prince – for all his life. “Teach me how to fly” is a paradox. It’s impossible to teach flying, you can only learn yourself. “Exactly as you can’t teach how to live or love…” — says the director Artem Ustinov.
