Queen. The yard Fairy Tale, 2023 (2022) by Natalia KabanowWroclaw Mime Theatre

The performance for the youngest audience, inspired by H. Ch. Andersen's The Snow Queen, is presented in a site-specific technique at the Winter Stage of WMT - the WMT building's backyard. This means that the building, garden, and yard serve as a natural scenography.
