"The Wise Child and Magic. Three Plays," written by Christopher Vened, is a creative adaptation from classical fairy tales. "The Emperor’s New Clothes," originally written by Hans Christian Andersen, is a satire on human vanity, narcissism, mendacity, and pretentiousness. "The Maiden without Hands," originally included in the Grimm’s Fairy Tales, is a surreal story about the fears and hopes a girl experiences during puberty. "Psyche," originally written by Hans Christian Andersen, is a tragic story about a talented Renaissance artist who seeks perfection in art. But he gives up his vocation as a sculptor because a girl breaks his heart.
