What if all of life was contained in a single fairy tale? A fairy tale that plays out over and over until it ends the way you want it to. With each turn you come one step closer to what you desire. But with each turn, what you desire changes and leads you in new directions. To be cast into the dark forest and lost, is the lot of every young individual. But what you find out there, and how you deal with it, is the real adventure. The goal is not to find your way out of the forest, but to find yourself, in the forest. The performance is sung in German.
