Once upon a time, there was a poor prince who had a very small kingdom, but it was large enough for him to get married, and getting married was exactly what he wanted. Of course, it took a lot of courage to ask the emperor's daughter, “Will you marry me?”, but he dared to do so anyway, because his name was known everywhere and there were hundreds of princesses who would gladly accept; but let's see what that princess did... Thus begins the story of swineherd but at a certain point the story changes and the show continues within the fairy tale of the frog prince where beauty is an internal, emotional value and not just an aesthetic one, where love triumphs and difference is an added value.
Admission is free.
