Children's opera inspired by the Ukrainian fairy tale "Цар Плаксій та дядько Лоскотон" by Wasyl Symonenko

In the "Land of Tears", the greedy King Jammer lives off the tears of his subjects. His eternal law applies: No one is allowed to laugh! Only the courageous brother Froh has always questioned him and his rule. But he is gone. Now there are only his two sisters, Fidele and Froni, who keep his memory alive. They always sing his Laughing Song and one day, when they meet a group of children who are brand new to the Land of Tears, they set off in search of him. It is time to bring their brother and laughter back to the land.

The children's opera reflects on the power of laughter in times of existential crisis. Can laughter help us cope with loss, loneliness, war and death? The play also questions the freedom of feelings. Does anyone have the right to judge feelings as right or wrong, good or bad? How do you not let your feelings be taken away from you?

Suitable for children aged 6-9 years.
