Join Pegasus Puppet Theatre for an enthralling show! The performance will be in the library's atrium. Adult supervision of children is required. ‘East of the Sun and West of the Moon’ is the Norwegian version of a fairy tale told in many lands by many different names, such as ‘The White Bear’, ‘Cupid and Psyche’, and ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
In our version, a king and his daughter rule a kingdom side by side until one day a devastating blight causes crops to fail and their people to go hungry. A mysterious sorceress offers to heal the land in exchange for the king’s hand in marriage. He agrees and marries her, only to discover her true identity to be the Queen of the Trolls, who spirits him away to her kingdom that lies east of the sun and west of the moon.
To save her father, the princess must embark on an arduous journey that will require both her courage and perseverance. In order to find and enter the land of the trolls, our heroine enlists the help of an aged sage and three dragons (the wind spirits).
