In the family show The Firebird the orchestra transports you to a magical world in which everything is coloured by the wonderful music of Stravinsky.

After that encounter the prince embarks on an exciting musical adventure when he tries to free thirteen other birds imprisoned by the magician. Will Prince Ivan manage to restore their freedom? Can the firebird help? The story has been rewritten for this show by Lotte van Dijck and staged by the Swiss video artist Camille Scherrer.
