The Kingdom of Nonsense

The Kingdom of Nonsense and the Kingdom of Seriousness Based on the highly recommended book by Tamar Braun Alkalas Playwright and director: Oren Halfon Dramaturgy: Yifat Yatach Ron Original music: Nadav Vikinski Set, costume and puppet design: Limor Hershko Props: Narkis Alba Movement: Ilan Zakharov Cast: Aviv Ben, Ziv Tabul Retzinluk, prince of the Kingdom of Seriousness, lives in a world where everything has a rule, a time and a reason. In the kingdom beyond the mountain, Shtutit, princess of the Kingdom of Nonsense, lives in a completely opposite world, where everything is a game and every problem is solved with laughter. When Retzinluk's boat drifts onto a shore he does not know, he meets Shtutit and is drawn into her colorful, surprising world. She teaches him to laugh, to imagine and to go with the flow, and he teaches her about the depth of thought, the importance of order and discipline, and about navigation, the directions of the wind and the north stars. Despite the differences between them, they are filled with excitement and curiosity about the new world revealed to them, and even manage to weave a friendship, until a big quarrel in the middle of the sea makes them think the difference between them is too great and that they will never be able to bridge it. Angry and disappointed, each returns to their own kingdom. As the days pass and the anger fades, they feel that something is missing... and when they run into a problem, they remember what they learned from each other. When they realize how much they miss and need each other, they meet again and prove to everyone that nonsense and seriousness are complementary opposites that only together create a whole and perfect world.
