This production of famous fairytale builds on psychoanalytical interpretation of the American psychologist Bruno Bettelheim. Bettelheim identifies the story of Sleeping Beauty as a parable of initiation and female growing up. He notices symbolism of blood, resp. red color, the motif of high tower with a spiral staircase and other psychoanalytical issues. The performance pays special attention to these motifs, so it is thus appealing to adult audiences. Yet, the entire story is presented in a fairy tale dimension – understandable even to the youngest spectators.
