A moody and disinterested prince, raised with excessive care by a dowager queen, is placed under the observation of an elder master. From the tale of the Arab tradition “The prince, the master and the eagle”, a spectacle is designed intertwining other tales. The storyteller and actress from Niteroi, Daniella D’Andrea, wakes up “The melon city” (Afghanistan) and “The Blind Abdallah” (arabia), as well as excerpts from the work “The Walled Garden of Truth” by Hakim Sanai of Ghazna, 12th century Persian poet.
“Philosophical tales bring different layers of understanding so that everyone can absorb them in their own way., without worrying about discovering a message. Understanding comes from personal experience. The stories aren't obvious and don't even bring answers, but they stimulate living thought”, reflects the artistic narrator Daniella D'Andrea.
With institutional support from the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, State Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy of Rio de Janeiro, through the RJ2 Cultural Retake Notice, “The art of governing oneself” is a broad project that includes a series of parallel actions linked to storytelling and literature., with the presence of storytellers, editors and translators.
