Once upon a time, there was a prince who only wanted to marry a “real” princess … But what does “real” actually mean?

Traffik Theater brings Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale to life in a fresh way – with drawings, objects, live music, plenty of humor, and a host of new questions:
Does a princess really have to feel a pea through all those mattresses? Did the queen have to pass the test when she was still a princess? And what if, after the test, the princess didn’t actually want to marry the prince?

A magical theater journey full of imagination, humor, and music – for both young audiences and adults.
